I am a DPhil student in Politics at the DPIR, and a member of Green Templeton College. My research focuses on the intersection of politics and organised crime. My doctoral thesis provides a framework for explaining variation in territorial control in Latin American cities, explaining how and why States are able to gain and sustain territorial control in marginalised urban communities dominated by armed criminal actors.
