I’m a development economist and a senior research fellow at the International Food Policy Institute (IFPRI). I serve on the editorial boards of Food Policy and  Economics & Human Biology.
​
​My current research centers on policies and interventions addressing extreme poverty and child undernutrition in low-income countries. Most of my research takes place largely in East Africa and is based on statistical analyses of large-scale quantitative household surveys, often linked to randomized controlled trials.
