I am a planning, governance, and globalization (PGG) doctoral student at Virginia Tech and a native of the Kurdistan Region. Climate change and political violence are the main topics of my research focus.
My master's degree is in strategic and defense studies. I previously spent five years as the editor-in-chief and a research fellow at the Kurdistan Conflict and Crisis Research Center (KCCRC). In addition, I've published several peer-reviewed articles about Kurdish and Iraqi politics.
