I’m an editor and writer covering technology, energy, science and the environment. I’ve reported and worked with journalists across Asia and Africa.

I’m currently the Africa editor at Rest of World, focused on artificial intelligence. Previously, I led its labor and technology coverage. Before that, I was deputy Asia editor at Global Press, helping lead coverage and manage reporters in Mongolia, Nepal and Sri Lanka.

My reporting has appeared in Nature, Undark, Discover and The Washington Post. I covered climate policy and the energy industry at E&E News in Washington, D.C., and health and agriculture at The Ken in India. I also co-founded Scrolls & Leaves, a podcast about South Asian history, science and culture.

My feature on India’s tiger census won an Association of British Science Writers award in 2020. I contributed to Undark’s air pollution series, which received the George Polk Award for environmental reporting in 2019.
