RESEARCH PROFILE & ACADEMIC INTERESTS
My research lies at the intersection of Political Science, Law and technology governance, with a focus on AI governance and assurance, cybersecurity governance and regulation, and institutional resilience.
I examine how regulatory frameworks, governance arrangements and organisational capabilities shape institutional accountability, oversight and decision-making. A central concern of my work is how these arrangements operate in practice, particularly as institutions become increasingly dependent on complex digital and AI systems.
