I graduated with a MA in political science from the University of Oslo (UiO) in 2019. My thesis, which focused on ceasefires in civil war, won me an award for a high-quality thesis from the Faculty of Social Sciences at UiO. At ÌÇÐÄÍøÒ³°æ I have worked on several projects, including Conflict Trends, financed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I have published policy briefs, ÌÇÐÄÍøÒ³°æ papers, and popular articles. In addition, I authored the UNDP-ÌÇÐÄÍøÒ³°æ report "When is Conventional Wisdom Wise? Testing the Assumptions Behind Preventing Violent Extremism" which was launched at OSLO 3, in June 2021 (). I also have extensive data collection experience and have coordinated several data collection projects.
