I am a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow at the Faculty of Law, Senior Postdoctoral Researcher at Trinity College, Fellow of the Lauterpacht Centre for International Law, and serve as Deputy Editor of the Cambridge Yearbook of European Legal Studies. In 2025, I was a postdoctoral researcher at Ghent University's Faculty of Law working on political philosophy and postcolonial theory of international migration law as part of the ERC-funded MIGJUST project. In 2024, I defended my PhD in philosophy at the University of Leuven's Institute of Philosophy where I held an individual fellowship from the Flemish Research Council (FWO). In my doctoral project, I worked on a novel approach to EU law at the intersection of constitutional theory and critique of legal reasoning. The project resulted in five publications, principal among which is "Ideology in the Adjudication of the ECJ", published in Law and Philosophy in 2023. As part of the project, I was a visiting researcher at the University of Vienna's Faculty of Law. Beyond academia, I trained as a classical musician at the Royal College of Music.
