I am a human geographer focusing on climate change and urban studies. My research falls broadly across climate change adaptation, (urban) resilience, disaster risk reduction, and risk communication within the context of cities in the Global South. I was the first social scientist who wins the Allianz Climate Risk Research Awards in 2017.
