BIO

I am a researcher specializing in energy transition, currently pursuing a PhD focused on the challenges and opportunities shaping equitable and sustainable energy systems in Sub-Saharan Africa. My research interests lie at the intersection of renewable energy resource governance, energy justice, and the role of extractive industries—particularly tin mining—in advancing global energy transition goals.

With a Master’s degree in Oil and Gas Law, I have a strong foundation in energy regulation, resource governance, and environmental policy. Prior to transitioning into academia, I gained valuable professional experience as a litigation lawyer, where I developed expertise in legal analysis, advocacy, and dispute resolution.

My interdisciplinary background enables me to approach energy transition issues from both legal and socio-economic perspectives, with a particular focus on fairness, inclusivity, and sustainability in resource-dependent communities. Through my research, I aim to contribute to policy discussions and practical solutions that promote just and inclusive energy futures.
