About

I am a mathematician and economist specializing in participatory climate and energy modeling to support economic decision-making under uncertainty and risk. My work prioritizes pluralist approaches that challenge dominant economic paradigms by integrating complexity, power asymmetries, and epistemic justice into decision-support frameworks.

With six years of experience in rural electrification planning, financing, and water-energy-food nexus projects across Togo, Nigeria, Tanzania, Sierra Leone, and Niger, I have worked with development agencies such as the United Nations and GIZ. My academic interests span political ecology, critical development studies, and feminist theory, with a strong focus on interdisciplinary methodologies that bridge social and natural sciences. I am particularly passionate about rethinking the climate-development-infrastructure nexus, bringing attention to how power and politics shape transitions in contexts of uncertainty and change.
