I'm a Lecturer in Security Studies Education in the Department of War Studies at King’s College London. I hold a PhD and MPhil in International Relations from the University of Cambridge. Based in the Centre for Science and Security Studies (CSSS), I conduct scholarly and policy research at the nexus of conflict, security and science.
The nature of my research has evolved significantly over the course of my career, enabling me to take an interdisciplinary and synthesised approach.
My current research is focused on emerging challenges to world order, especially as these relate to the Pacific - and I'm particularly interested in the relationship between strategies of weaponised interdependence and supply chains of critical minerals and strategic technologies.
Other areas of interest include minilateralism (especially AUKUS), coercive diplomacy, sanctions, deterrence, British foreign policy, and chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) terrorism.
Working at King’s has given me the opportunity to join a stimulating, intellectual environment - and I enjoy collaborating across disciplines.
