He is the Royal Holloway lead for the work package on ‘Digital technologies, inequality and migration' which seeks to understand the extent and ways through which digital technologies alleviate or exacerbate existing inequalities in the context of South-South migration, as well as successes and challenges facing the use of digital technologies for migrant-related development outcomes. It also considers how the potential benefits of digital tech can be leveraged to ensure that the developmental benefits of migration are harnessed and increased, particularly through reducing inequalities in access, use and outcomes.
