His dissertation research examines the intersections between foreign policy analysis, security studies, and the historical political economy of European state-building, with a focus on the emergence of modern diplomacy, the formation of international order, and the development of durable state institutions. His additional research projects investigate how sovereign states formed and analyze the impact of this process on current issues such as environmental governance, authoritarian resilience, and change in world politics.
