My research examines the politics of local governance and the determinants of state capacity. I also focus on how new technologies are adopted and scaled in resource-poor contexts. You can find more details on the research page and in my CV.

I am on sabbatical for the 2025-26 academic year and will be based in Chicago as a Visiting Scholar at the University of Chicago’s Department of Political Science. I am also a Non-Resident Fellow at the  Governance and Local Development (GLD) Institute.
