Research focus
Currently, my research focusses on the adaptation dynamics of rural communities to droughts by developing an agent-based model (ABM). I will simulate the interactions between drought risk, its direct and indirect impacts, and how agro-pastorialists respond to drought with adaptation measures. My work is part of the DOWN2EARTH project in East Africa.
