About Me
I am a final-year undergraduate student specialising in Security, Intelligence, and Cyber Studies at The University of Buckingham. My research sits at the intersection of Sustainability and Security, with a particular focus on Development-Security.
Beginning in late 2026, I plan to begin my Masters of Science, in Development, Environment, and International Politics at Newcastle University. I hope to write my final project on "The Maritime Applications of Nuclear Propulsion Systems, and the Geostrategic Implications thereof".
Outside of formal research, I maintain a set of personal and technical projects that inform my methodological thinking - including work in data analysis, digital humanities, and open-source tooling.
I am currently open to research collaborations, conference opportunities, and postgraduate networks in such areas.
