Research Interests

I conduct research on the effect of military and non-military third-party interventions on civil war outcomes. Currently, I lead a 3.5 year-long project on the effect of disarmament on conflict recurrence (DISARM), funded by the Norwegian Research Council. 

My geographical expertise concerns the Gulf Region and more specifically the conflict in Yemen. My thematic interest lies in the intersection of military and non-military third-party interventions in civil wars. 

Are you a researcher or a practitioner who is interested in disarmament or DDR programmes? I am always looking for opportunities to collaborate, so please get in touch.
