Research Interests
My doctoral research investigates the drivers of food insecurity in Badakhshan, a mountainous region straddling eastern Afghanistan and Tajikistan. I use remote sensing to understand how the drivers of food insecurity have changed over time, with a particular focus on the impact of armed conflict. These findings will inform humanitarian and development aid policy in Badakhshan as well as in other mountain landscapes and areas impacted by conflict. I received my master’s degree from the University of Toronto, where I researched the environmental and social impacts of the Southeastern Anatolia Project (GAP). I completed my formal training in GIS and remote sensing in the Master of Geomatics (MGEM) program at UBC, where under the supervision of Dr. Sarah Gergel I looked at the effect of the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war on the environment using remote sensing. In my free time, I enjoy spending time hiking and skiing in the beautiful mountains around Vancouver.
