BIO

Driven by a commitment to shaping global peace and security, I investigate how conflicts are resolved, how diplomacy is negotiated, and how power is exercised in fragile regions. My doctoral research at Deakin University examines the Afghanistan peace process, focusing on external actors, mediation strategies, and shifting regional geopolitics.

Through peer-reviewed publications and qualitative fieldwork, including thematic analysis and expert interviews, I combine robust theory with practical insight. Positioned at the intersection of scholarship and policy, my work delivers fresh perspectives on conflict resolution, legitimacy of non-state actors, and sustainable peacebuilding in complex international contexts.
