I joined University of Edinburgh as Chancellor's Fellow in June 2023. I was previously Lecturer/Assistant Professor and Ad Astra Fellow at University College Dublin, Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at University of Warwick, and Teaching Fellow in Contemporary and Postcolonial Literature at University of Birmingham. I have also taught at University of York. In 2022, I held a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science short-term fellowship at Aoyama Gakuin University, Tokyo.

My research is situated in the Environmental Humanities. I primarily write about water in modern and contemporary world literature. I am interested in literary representations of water crisis, water infrastructure and technology, water and the state, water justice, and alternative hydro-social futures. I also have interests in animal studies and food studies.

My work has been funded by the Leverhulme Trust, the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, the British Academy-Royal Irish Academy Knowledge Frontiers programme, the White Rose Universities Consortium, and competitive internal funding schemes at UCD and University of York.

I am Associate Editor of the journal Environmental Humanities. I am also co-convenor of the Edinburgh Environmental Humanities Network, and an affiliate of the Edinburgh Futures Institute (EFI) and the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities (IASH).
