My expertise includes analyzing and anticipating geopolitical and geoeconomic disruptions and China's evolving role in international affairs. I explore the tense interactions among the US, China, and the EU, grounded in extensive research. I regularly contribute to strategic advisory for European governments, corporates, and decision-makers. As an inspiring speaker and frequent interviewee in the media, I actively share my insights with a wider audience. With over 25 years of experience, I serve as Professor of Political Economy specializing in Geoeconomics and China at the University of Trier near Luxembourg. From 2013-2018, I founded and led the Mercator Institute for China Studies (MERICS) in Berlin, establishing it as a leading institution in European China research.
