I conduct research on planning in the context of the Global South, committed to fostering environmental justice and health equity through scientific study and community engagement. My academic and fieldwork experiences across East and Southern African nations have sharpened my focus on settlement environments, spatial practices, and child health. I work at the intersection of infrastructures, climate change, and epidemiology, emphasizing human-environment interactions at multiple scales. My particular interest lies in the water, sanitation, and energy sectors, aiming to create climate-resilient and healthy communities through structural and behavioral transformations. My ongoing research integrates demographic and health surveys, earth observation data, and ground-level investigations to achieve a comprehensive understanding of settlement environments and their impacts on health within the diverse geographies of Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Ethiopia.
