Before joining Queen Mary, she was a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Political Science at the University of Chicago.

Liz’s research examines energy politics and state capacity in the face of climate change. She is currently completing a book manuscript on state capitalism in India, with a focus on electricity and renewable energy. Other recent and ongoing projects explore the effects of ambitious renewable energy targets, the relationship between electoral competition and energy reforms, and the history of fossil fuel consumption across Asia.
As an ISEP Fellow, Liz seeks to contribute to research on the political economy of renewable energy and institutions for environmental governance, especially in the Global South.
