To date I have been fortunate to have achieved some key foundational objectives during my international research career. I have a PhD from the University of St Andrews, a world-renowned university, with a strong reputation for security studies and international politics, where I had been part of a Marie Curie European Training Network for 4 years and completed a PhD thesis. In years after finishing PhD, I obtained diverse intersectoral experience, including by training the governmental officials within the Institute of Diplomacy in Nur-Sultan in Kazakhstan. There I have convened courses for MA and PhD students, civil servants and diplomats, applied data visualisation during presentations and talks; and supervised five MA dissertations. I further developed my profile by working at the leading research institute in Central Europe, located in Prague, strengthening link to policy-driven projects. Additionally, I have published peer-reviewed articles in Nationalities Papers, Politeia, Vestnik of the National Antiterrorist Committee, and two book chapters. This year I have been working on a very original and prospectively influential co-authored book on the peace building in the Chechen Republic which received a written interest from the Pennsylvania University Press. Beyond publishing, I disseminated my work using professional platforms at Columbia University, University of Oxford and Vienna Webster Private University. I seek to keep performing research of crime and terrorism, gender equality, social innovation in security sector and producing evidence-based research outputs helping to shape policies.
