Cecilia Cavero is a third-year Ph.D. Candidate in Political Science and Social Data Analytics at Penn State. Her research examines how peace is built, sustained, and challenged, with a focus on the intersection of aid, civil society, and governance in conflict-affected settings. She studies how communities manage disputes, how armed actors establish political order, and how international institutions shape these processes. Her research combines causal inference, network analysis, and fieldwork, and contributes new methodological tools to address measurement challenges.
