A short professional narrative
I am an international law researcher focused on International Humanitarian Law, transitional justice, and security governance, with particular interest in how emerging technologies reshape accountability in conflict settings.
Based in Geneva, my work examines the legal and institutional design challenges raised by autonomous systems, AI-enabled decision-making, and evolving approaches to prevention, compliance, and responsibility under IHL.
I have contributed to research and practice-oriented outputs in settings spanning humanitarian law and security policy, including work with the ICRC (New Delhi) and the Geneva Centre for Security Policy. I am particularly interested in bridging doctrinal analysis with practical governance pathways—what states, institutions, and multilateral processes can realistically implement.
Core themes
- Accountability and responsibility for autonomous weapon systems and AI-enabled operations
- Institutional design for prevention and guarantees of non-recurrence in transitional contexts
- Arms control and security governance: escalation risks, compliance tools, and norm development
- Protection of civilians, environmental harms, and the limits of existing legal frameworks
Selected work style
My writing aims to be precise, citation-forward, and usable for policy and legal audiences. I prefer clean argumentation, clear definitions, and structured recommendations.
“Serious work should read as if it can be implemented.”
