I am a Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Development Policy, University of Antwerp.
My research interests lie at the intersection of development economics, environmental economics, and political economy.
My work combines original field data, experimental methods, and close collaboration with policy actors. I have over a decade of field research experience in Sub-Saharan Africa, focusing on the nexus between natural resources, livelihoods, and conflict.
I hold a joint PhD in Economics (KU Leuven) and Development Studies (University of Antwerp). Here’s a link to my CV and ORCID page.
I am also affiliated to the Southern Africa Labour and Development Research Unit (SALDRU) at the University of Cape Town; and the Expertise Centre on Mining Governance (CEGEMI) at the Catholic University of Bukavu.
