I am a PhD candidate at the George Washington University. My research lies at the intersection of global governance, science and technology studies, and climate politics, viewed through a Global South perspective with a particular focus on Southeast Asia. My dissertation, The Politics of Mapping Climate Change, investigates why counterproductive policies to mitigate climate change become adopted at the global level, with a focus on the science that guides global climate policy.
Building on my dissertation, I also extend my argument to the global policy architecture of carbon markets in a working paper that analyzes why certain carbon verification standards are adopted while others are not in the voluntary markets, and examines the implications for environmental integrity.
