Daniel completed his PhD at the University of Sydney in 2020. His doctoral thesis investigated religious homelands in northern Iraq, through which he created a novel spatial methodology to assess ethnic and religious identity using ArcGIS mapping technologies. Alongside his academic research, Daniel works as an engineering consultant specialising in bridge design and construction. He is also a Fellow of the Royal Anthropological Institute (FRAI) and volunteers for the non-profit organisations Iraq Body Count (IBC) and the Etuti Organisation.
