Interested in the functional ecology of coastal wetlands. Looking into hydrodynamics and environmental stress as major drivers of plant architecture and its implications for plant-plant interactions, vegetation structure and, ultimately, ecosystem function and service provisioning.

My research explores how the drug trade has shaped politics in Bolivia. I consider how military-authoritarian regimes forged relationships with organised crime during the Cold War era, and explore how these relationships between the state and the narcos changed following democratisation. I argue that these networks are an important factor in controlling levels of criminal violence associated with the cocaine economy in Bolivia.

I work with the Colombia River Stories network, focusing specifically on the political economy of illicit gold.
