In my research I was focusing on the possibility of using Private Military and Security Companies (PMSCs) for military humanitarian intervention, i.e. on actual military engagement of PMSCs on the ground. I am trying to legitimize the use of PMSCs for humanitarian intervention using the conceptual framework of Just War Theory, in particular jus in bello principles. In a comparsion with public sector humanitarian intervention in the 1990s I claimed that the private sector is equally suitable for military intervention for humanitarian purposes

PiCA is an organization intended to facilitate academic growth. While a broad objective, its potential for success grows when its raison d’être is more thoroughly understood. In sum, this project was born from three inter-connected realizations: one being that junior scholars crave exposure for their hard work and efforts, yet, whether due to time constraints, lack of resources, or the nature of their situations, have been unable to submit their work to print publications; the second being that communities of students, scholars, academics, and even the more general population all gain from the increased circulation of new ideas, concepts, and literature; the last is that junior scholars, whose ambitions are often aided by the increased circulation of their manuscripts, can derive great benefit from the review of their work by peers, experts, and future employers.

Working for the European Centre for Customer Assistance Coordination of Daimler, Maastricht, the Netherlands.
