Research projects
Working with a range of talented co-authors and using both qualitative and quantitative primary and secondary data, my current research agenda includes three main topics:
- Food, nutrition, and health: I am interested in research at the intersection of agriculture, food, nutrition, and health predominately in low-income countries. I am interested in the food system as a whole, but also in its various components (from production to markets and food environments) and how this affects nutrition and health. My research questions often have a gender-focused angle.
- I study the social context of antimicrobial resistance, exploring rural healthcare-seeking behaviours, how people understand antibiotics and illness, their constraints in accessing healthcare
- Innovation, technology, and industrialisation in developing countries: I investigate the innovation rich environment of middle- and low-income countries aiming to understand the diffusion and impacts of tech- and no-tech innovations at the firm level.
