My research and teaching is focused on technology, entrepreneurship and planetary habitability.

The central focus of my current work is to highlight the unsustainable nature of the growth-based economic system, manifested in a "Guns, Oil and Oligarch" nexus.

I joined IZA as a Research Fellow in January 2013.
