Biography
Researcher in international politics and security studies, with a focus on maritime security, geoeconomics, and the Indo-Pacific. I hold degrees from universities in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Japan, and bring expertise in geoeconomics, maritime security, EU foreign policy, and politics and security in the Indo-Pacific region. Currently based at the Royal Military Academy in Brussels, I work on the nexus of maritime security and economic nationalism of rising powers.
