What I'm looking for

I’m seeking to extend my research foundation to household income instability and welfare-state responses.

At UM6P, I researched how state and institutional responses affect vulnerable populations, service access, and policy implementation in African settings. I analysed governance and human-development indicators in R and paired quantitative patterns with policy and institutional evidence.

For my master's dissertation, I designed a comparative qualitative study of institutional responses to civilian vulnerability in Tigray and Sudan. I conducted five expert interviews and triangulated those insights with humanitarian, donor, institutional, and media sources.

As a research assistant on the FISTS Parliamentary Sessions Dataset at AIRESS Research Laboratory, UM6P, I contribute to a cross-national dataset on physical violence during parliamentary sessions. I verify and classify incidents across sources, code event information, and conduct consistency and data-quality checks. I'm seeking to extend this foundation to household income instability and welfare-state responses.
