Currently, I hold a Walter Benjamin Fellowship (DFG) for my project "Radical Resilience".

My dissertation project focused on waste recycling practices in the urban area of Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and my newer projects pivot around flood resilience in HCMC (Vietnam), coastal areas in Cambodia and Northern Italy.
