Short bio

I am a political scientist and researcher based in London, with a PhD in Politics from Birkbeck, University of London, and a Master’s degree with Distinction in Middle East Politics from the University of Exeter.

My research spans modern political Islamic thought, radical Islamism, and the complex geopolitics of the Middle East. I specialise in analysing the framing processes within social movements, particularly focusing on the discursive and strategic transformations of Salafi-Jihadist groups.

I am also deeply engaged in exploring the region’s power dynamics and international relations, examining how these factors shape security and political stability in the Middle East. My work aims to contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the ideological, geopolitical, and operational forces that drive both state and non-state actors.

In addition to my academic work, I leverage my research background and established networks to offer consulting services in geopolitical analysis and security risk assessments, as well as to advise on social justice, civic engagement, and political literacy.
