I am a postdoctoral researcher and sessional instructor at the University of Calgary. I bring a unique interdisciplinary background combining physics with a current focus on sociology. My main research interest is to explore the dynamics of the contemporary international migration ecosystem. I employ both quantitative and qualitative methods, drawing on advanced statistical analysis, machine learning, and qualitative research to gain a deeper understanding of migration processes and outcomes.
