About

My research focus on understanding policy development and implementation in different sectors, as well as their political consequences. My main regional expertise is on Latin America, particularly Brazil. I am also particularly fond of applying different methods on my projects. Recently, I have been applying data science methods and machine learning in projects analyzing large amounts of text data.

Ongoing research projects

  • CENSU - Climate Change Energy Sustainability

    CENSU is a Norwegian-Tanzanian-Mozambican university collaboration within education and research which focuses on sustainable gas extraction and governance in the context of vulnerable communities and climate change.

  • GreenLeAP: Environmental policy change in Latin America

    Most countries have hard-to-abate “Achilles heel” sectors for domestic environmental action. In Latin America these are large export-oriented primary industries, like fossil-fuel extraction, mining, and industrial agriculture.
