Biography
I am a researcher at Uppsala University, Department of Government. My research interests encompass climate politics, climate-related hazards and sustainable development.
I received a M.A. degree in International Relations and European Studies from the Central European University in 2013, and a PhD in political science at Uppsala University. Prior to my PhD studies in Sweden, I worked as a research assistant at Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy on the impact of climate finance in Uganda. My professional experience also includes internships at the Estonian Mission to the UN and Praxis Center for Policy Studies.
