In my current role, I conduct research focusing on terrorism and extremism within the digital landscape. I lead the ICPVTR Informatics team, which covers a wide range of terrorism and violent extremism issues both within the SEA region and globally. I am particularly interested in capacity building and collaboration opportunities, both for myself and my team members. As part of my time in the private sector, I am trained in threat discovery and analysis, as well as risk mitigation tailored to various businesses and organisations. I have covered a wide range of developments in the region, including the Hong Kong protests, militant attacks in the southern Philippines, the military takeover in Myanmar, as well as the logistical and security implications of the COVID-19 pandemic.My work is supported by a strong academic background in history and political science. I obtained a Master of Arts degree in History from New York University, during which I was awarded honours for my thesis on shifts in Chinese political-economic thought and governance over the past twenty years. I have also conducted research into military buildup within the South China Sea, as well as the Asian development strategies adopted by the World Bank and UNDP.
