Self-introduction
I conduct empirical research on issues related to development policy, with a specific focus on the extractive/mining sector, agriculture and rural development, and migration. I believe that my contribution to the generation of empirical evidence can support policymakers in addressing complex development issues. Through my research, I strive to make a meaningful impact and contribute to the advancement of development policy.
