RESEARCH




My research broadly focuses on the intersection of international law and armed conflict. I aim to explain how the evolving domestic and international legal landscape influences war and criminal behaviors of non-state armed actors, the conflict process and outcomes, and the accountability of responsible actors for mass atrocities and terrorism.
