For my PhD project I conducted research on the link between people and land in Iraqi Kurdistan. I finished my PhD in 2015 with the dissertation “No Friends but the Mountains: Understanding Population Mobility and Land Dynamics in Iraqi Kurdistan”.

My current research is focused on land systems and conflict, and more specifically on the links between drought, land use change, and conflict in Syria and Iraq.
