Personal profile
Biography
I received my Ph.D. in Law from EUI (Florence, Italy) in 2009. Since then, I have worked as a Post-doctoral Fellow at the University of Tilburg, as an Assistant Professor at Maastricht University (The Netherlands) and as a Senior Research Fellow at the LSE. Currently, I am an Associate Professor in EU Law at the University of East Anglia (UEA).
My research lies in the intersection between constitutional law, EU law and conflict resolution theory. Its main focus has been on analysing how the EU constitutional order recognises and accommodates different aspects of the right to self-determination.
