Miguel Moctezuma

Prior to joining the Global Security Programme, Miguel (Chevening Scholar and Master of Public Policy, 2021) was a public policy consultant at CIDE Mexico, a visiting scholar at UC Berkeley, and a member of the research team at the Oxford People in Government Lab. He is currently working on a project that uses hyperspectral analysis of foliar nitrogen enrichment and machine-learning to find clandestine graves in Mexico. Miguel has been founder and director of several peacebuilding initiatives, and he is a partner at Hackademy.lat, an organisation currently funded by the British Council which aims to train 5,000 Latin American women —from deprived and conflictive areas— in soft-skills and software development by 2027.

He also holds a degree in Economics from the Autonomous University of Zacatecas (Mexico), and a Master in Government and Public Affairs from the National Autonomous University of Mexico, UNAM.
