About Me

I am an Lecturer at Nottingham Law School in the United Kingdom, where I teach various topics related to Public International Law. Currently, I am also a PhD candidate at the Centre for Rights and Justice, focusing my research on the definition of piracy under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and on environmental activism.

My research interests include International Environmental Law, the Law of the Sea, and International Criminal Law. Specifically, I have a keen interest in the governance of the deep sea and high seas.
