Research project development, grant writing, and education in the field of Global Health and Climate Change research.

What if all systems collapsed at once? What if multiple aspects of our lives became more and more restricted, with fewer options and more challenges as time goes by? My research looks at the informal urban settlements on the Global South during the COVID-19 and climate change crises to understand and ultimately prevent these scenarios. In the COVIDGI Project (https://www.covidgi.uni hamburg.de/) we look at the Corona pandemic's deep impacts across society. More broadly, my research at Uni Hamburg looks at the systemic quality of these crises and how they build upon pre-existing inequalities like social and environmental injustices. We implement research based on complexity, multiple stressors, and vulnerability using statistical and geographic information techniques coupled with qualitative methods in a mixed-method framework. I am also an avid practitioner of direct participation methods and deeply interested in Open Science, Non-Violent Communication, and on promoting democracy and human rights.
