Salma Daoudi currently pursues a DPhil in International Relations at the University of Oxford, specialising in international security and health in asymmetric warfare, as a Qatar Oxford Thatcher scholar.

Her DPhil project explores the weaponisation of health in Syria and the ways in which, beyond its immediate effects, the repercussions on health, political, and socio-economic vulnerabilities extend beyond the locus and temporality of violence.
