Research Interests
My research interest is development studies, although I am generally interested in the broad area of International Relations. I am particularly interested in making use of mixed method approaches to carry out evidence-based research, especially in developing countries. Therefore, I carry out research that utilise quantitative, geospatial, and qualitative techniques to solve development issues. I am currently working on the intersections between corruption, sextortion (sexual corruption) and development.
