Profile Photo

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Tech Against Terrorism Europe Project at Dublin City University School of Law & Government. I work at the intersection of conflict analysis, peace studies and youth studies. In particular, the conceptualizations of ‘radicalisation’ and ‘extremism’ and the impact they have on the Youth, Peace and Security agenda and security interventions more broadly. I obtained my PhD in Politics and International Relations from Dublin City University. My research explores the gendered dimensions of (online) extremism and countering violent extremism, emerging discourses of ‘radicalisation’, and alternative forms of preventing and countering violent extremism.

My work has been published in the Palgrave Encyclopedia of Peace and Conflict Studies and the Media, War & Conflict Journal. As a postdoctoral researcher at Dublin City University School of Law & Government I taught a module on gender and politics to DCU's undergraduate students. I am an affiliate at the Cyber Threats Research Centre (CYTREC) of Swansea University and the VOX-Pol Network of Excellence.
