About

Bridging the gap between science, policy, and technology to drive transformative change.

I specialize in designing robust governance frameworks for technological innovation, focusing on areas like the circular economy and AI governance. My mission is to translate academic depth into actionable strategies that foster sustainable progress and societal resilience.
