I am currently a member of the Migration and Mobilities cluster at the Asia Research Institute, National University of Singapore (NUS). I’ll be leaving NUS in October to take up my place as a DPhil student at the University of Oxford’s School of Geography and the Environment with full funding from the Clarendon scholarship. Taking Sabah as a locus of theorizing, my doctoral project aims to understand irregularity not so much as a legal categorization, but as the structuring effects of the spatiotemporal ordering of urban infrastructure.

Prior to NUS, I completed an MA in Migration Studies at the University of Sussex (funded by Chevening), where I won national awards including the UK Royal Geographical Society’s PopGRG Bob Woods Postgraduate Dissertation Prize, the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies (JEMS) Best Dissertation Prize, and the UK Development Studies Association Master’s Dissertation Award (Highly Commended).
