Her research focuses on using computer simulations to understand complex questions about migration and mobility, with particular interest in protracted refugee situations. She traveled to Lesvos in May to meet with representatives from INGOs, the municipality, and local NGOs, as well as with locals who responded to the refugee crisis in Greece. This is part of a larger project to model humanitarian coordination and response to refugee crises that will be presented as part of the Lesbos Dialogues in Mytilene November 9-11, 2017.
