About

I am Senior Lecturer, currently teaching on the International Trade Law and Commercial Law modules.

I joined Kingston University in September 2021. Previously, I taught at the University of Surrey, City, University of London, and the University of Leicester. My main research interests are EU external relations, international law, human rights, conflict resolution and security.

I was awarded a PhD by City, University of London, defending a thesis under the title ‘The European Union and Shaping of Its Neighbourhood: In Pursuit of Stability, Security and Prosperity'.

In 2019, I was Visiting Fellow at Università Degli Studi Di Milano – Bicocca Dipartimento Di Giurisprudenza (Law and Pluralism Fellowship Programme).
