About Me

I am deeply fascinated by international relations, world politics, and the complexities of humanity. 

Scholar
As an interdisciplinary scholar, I examine the intersections of energy geopolitics, global governance, critical infrastructure resilience, and International Relations theory. My research explores how accelerating energy transitions, regime complexity, and hybrid threats are reshaping and, in many cases, destabilising the contemporary global order.

Lecturer
Teaching lies at the heart of everything I do. It is both my greatest passion and an integral part of my scholarly identity. I am committed to designing innovative modules and fostering critical, conceptual, and analytical thinking in students, even as artificial intelligence transforms pedagogical practice.

Manager
Complementing my academic work, I am passionate about developing and leading international projects that bring people together through culturally intelligent leadership and cross-cultural understanding.
