🌍 Welcome!
Hi, I’m Rana, a development economist passionate about research that drives real-world change. I work at LISER, evaluating development policies in Africa in collaboration with J-PAL Europe, LuxDev, and the Luxembourg Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs.
📚 My research focuses on vocational training & youth employment, particularly for women and young girls in developing countries. I also study migration, social cohesion, and conflict, including the role of media in migration decisions.
🎓 I love teaching! I teach Development Economics at the University of Luxembourg and serve as a Strategic Advisor for Professors Without Borders, supporting education initiatives worldwide.
🚀 Passionate about women & girls in science, I mentor young researchers and advocate for gender equality in STEM.
📖 My work has been published in journals like the Journal of Development Economics, contributing to research that informs real-world policy.
