About me
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Hertie School’s Centre for International Security. My postdoctoral project ‘‘Peacekeeping Dynamics and Local Support Mining and Analyzing Tweets from Conflict Countries’' is funded by German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).
I hold a Ph.D. in Political Science at the University of Houston. My main research areas include UN interventions in conflicts, the supply-side, effectiveness and legitimacy of UN peacekeeping operations, and the durability of peace settlements.
In my dissertation, UN Peacekeeping Operations: Conflicting Interests and Effectiveness, I study how divergent interests of troop-providers affect the overall success of UN peacekeeping missions.
