Hello!
Hello!
I am an anthropologist and writer from Malaysia. I use ethnographic and historical tools to tell stories about science and technology, mostly in global South contexts.
I am currently the Junior Professor of Science & Technology Studies of the Global South at the University of Bayreuth. I have previously written about perfume-making and olfaction in southern France and analyzed social media discussions of alternative therapies during the coronavirus pandemic in Tanzania. Currently, I am writing a book about various human-rodent encounters in zoological research, animal training, and pest management schemes in Tanzania, drawing from my doctoral research.

My research has been funded by the Wenner-Gren Foundation, British Institute in Eastern Africa, and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. I work with doctoral and postdoctoral students who are funded by the Hans Böckler Foundation, Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).

I earned my Ph.D. from MIT’s program in History, Anthroplogy, and Science, Technology and Society (HASTS), with a B.A. from Harvard University. I also received a M.Phil in International Relations from the University of Cambridge as the Paul Williams Scholar at Emmanuel College.
