About

I'm a researcher and analyst with a background in international relations, conflict studies, and political economy. My work sits at the intersection of quantitative methods and qualitative area expertise — using data tools to ask questions that matter.

I examine how force, coercion, and strategic interaction shape the international order, using empirical and quantitative methods alongside primary-source analysis to uncover patterns of conflict and risk.

Previously at King's College London. I'm currently seeking roles in intelligence analysis, geopolitical risk advisory, and policy research.
