Background

PhD student at PRIO.

I have previously worked as research assistant at PRIO on two migration-related projects: QuantMig and FUMI. My work on these projects focused particularly on determinants and drivers of migration and migration aspirations through the use of survey data and systematic literature reviews.

In 2020, I submitted my master's thesis in political science, titled "Rainfall variability and violent, state-based conflict: A machine learning approach to estimate context specificity".
