Founding Director of the Project on Critical Minerals Security at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). 

I'm a mining economist and I've spent over a decade working on critical minerals. I also work on trade, climate and emerging markets. Currently writing a book titled ‘An International Strategy for Critical Minerals for the United States.’ I have been cited in the Washington Post, Energy Intelligence, Bloomberg, the US International Trade Commission and Foreign Policy, amongst others. 

I have a doctorate from the University of Cambridge, where I wrote a thesis on the economics of the platinum group metals sector.
