Profile

I'm a social science researcher with a special interest in foreign policy & international relations, climate change & biodiversity and Nature-based Solutions (NbS) to the multiple crises we are facing. I conducted my PhD research on China's role in global climate change governance with a special focus on climate leadership. My thesis is titled "Bound to lead? China's role in climate change governance between perception, conception, and behaviour", supervised by Prof Juliet Kaarbo and Assoc Prof Oliver Turner. I'm currently working on an NbS project for the Social Responsibility and Sustainability department and as a tutor in the School of Social and Political Science, connecting the local with the global.
