I’m a PhD student in Political Economy at King's College London. Prior to my doctoral studies, I worked in the World Trade Organisation (WTO), where I contributed to trade for peace initiatives and research on WTO accessions. I have also undertaken research on international trade policy, regional economic integration, and East Asian trade co-operation.

Research interests

• International trade and interstate conflict
• Economic interdependence and geoeconomics
• Trade substitutability and sectoral elasticities
• Peacebuilding and international organisations

Doctoral research

My doctoral research empirically investigates the conditions under which bilateral trade interdependence reduces the likelihood of interstate conflict, with a particular focus on the structure and substitutability of international trade relationships. By integrating quantitative measures of trade dependence, sectoral substitutability, and asymmetric economic costs into econometric models of interstate conflict, my research aims to identify which types of trade relationships are most conducive to peace.
