Graduate Degree
PhD
Education

B.E. Mechanical Engineering, American University of Beirut (2019)

About

Research Areas: political ecology, critical geography, anti/de-colonial development

Supervisor: Jessica Dempsey

Entry Date: 2023

Research Statement: Through my PhD, I am seeking to build upon my previous work, which focused on lithium industrialization in Bolivia. My research interests are generally influenced by the field of political ecology and are characterized by questions such as the following: At what socio-ecological cost will the global economy decarbonize? Will the extraction of critical minerals for the production of “green” technologies replicate the colonial history of industrialization and uneven development? How do global geopolitical shifts (economic alliances/rivalries, wars, etc.) interact with local communities and ecologies?
