Research

I study the intersection of causal machine learning, climate variability, conflict, and food security in socio-environmental systems.

Studies

Causal4FS-CBT GitHub

  • Topic: Impact of Cash-Based Transfers on Food Security in Somalia
  • Method: Average Treatment Effect (ATE)
  • Focus: Estimates the causal effect of humanitarian cash-based transfers on the number of people in IPC Phase 3 or higher.
  • Data: Collected and merged various indicators to construct a country-level dataset.

Causal4FS-Prices (WIP) GitHub

  • Topic: Impact of Food Prices on Food Security under Climate Variability across Sub-Saharan Africa
  • Method: Conditional Average Treatment Effect (CATE)
  • Focus: Investigates how food prices affect food security across Africa, conditioned on the effects of ENSO on NDVI.
  • Data: Uses an externally constructed dataset covering food prices, NDVI, and IPC classification.
