BIO

Since joining LSHTM as a Research Fellow in April 2021, my work has focused on sustainability and health aspects in food systems with an emphasis on their resilience and adaptability to environmental change. I have a PhD from University College London, where I researched the impact of climate change and water erosion on global cereal yields in collaboration with the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis. Before my PhD, I worked at the University of Nebraska's Water for Food Global Institute researching yield gaps and water productivity in crop production. I received my MSc in Transnational Ecosystem-based Water Management from Radboud University Nijmegen and the University of Duisburg-Essen, and my BSc in Geography from the University of Bonn.
