Her dissertation focuses on understanding the climate finance governance architecture in Bangladesh and deepening our understandings of household level vulnerability and resilience to climate change and its implications for international development policy and practice. Her other research spans the breadth of climate change and its implications for human security (Climate Change and African Political Stability), the politics of climate change policies, tracking, measuring, and evaluating foreign aid effectiveness and policies, and complex emergencies and political stability (the Program on Complex Emergencies and Political Stability in Asia). Prior returning to graduate school, she worked on the Global Adaptation Atlas at Resources for the Future (RFF), conducted vulnerability assessments in Central and West Asia, and designed guidance on climate change adaptation strategies for USAID.
