Kristine Helskog is particularly interested in how conflicts affect children's education and life opportunities.

She is a data science and GIS research assistant working on projects related to the causes and consequences of conflict, particularly concerning health, education, children's living conditions, ceasefires, and development aid.

In her data work, she uses R and Rstudio to prepare raw data for analysis. She uses geospatial methods on geocoded data, which enables studying spatial relationships on conflict trends and consequences.

Currently, she works on the Peace Science Infrastructure project led by Scott Gates and Håvard Strand, in the PRIO-GRID v3 team, and on the EdAttack project led by Gudrun Østby. She writes her master's thesis
