Short presentation
PhD Candidate. The focus of my dissertation is on displacement as a function of different types of violence and natural hazards/disasters. An essential part of the project is thereby to estimate and forecast displacement by better understanding the effect of these external shocks. The project is part of the Mistra Geopolitics Research School.
