Welcome! I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Food Politics & Society cluster at the Asia Research Institute, National University of Singapore, and a non-resident Global Health Fellow with The New School. I am a comparativist studying state development through the formation of public health, urban development, and social policies. I have particular interests in how One Health governance and food policies intersect these topics. I have specialization in the Southeast Asia region, with extensive research and language skills in Vietnam and I am starting new work in Singapore and Hong Kong. I am on the academic job market for roles beginning in 2027. Please feel free to email me at elwillou [at] nus [dot] edu [dot] sg.
