Primary research areas

Energy transition

Exploring governance frameworks and key enablers that accelerate the shift to sustainable and lower-emissions energy sources.

Multistakeholder partnerships

Examining the dynamics and inherent tensions of cross-sector collaborations designed to enable large-scale system change.

Port ecosystems

Illuminating how port authorities and other ecosystem actors drive energy transition while creating value for their organizations.

I am inspired by the hard work of many in climate action, and I seek to contribute through timely research.

I am a PhD fellow at the Department of Strategy and Innovation at CBS. As part of the Ports as Energy Transition Hubs (POTENT) project and the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Network, I strive to produce interdisciplinary research and knowledge to help: 

- port authorities consider how value and opportunities might emerge at the interaction of different sectors and economic activities 

- policymakers make informed decisions that advance a lower-emissions and just transition 

- firms and NGOs coordinate efforts through effective collaborations.  

I am also affiliated with CBS Maritime, a cross-departmental platform that brings together and applies research-based knowledge to support management, organizational, and policy development in the maritime sector. 

Prior to joining CBS, I worked in the field of corporate sustainability within the shipping sector in Hong Kong and conducted research on Canadian climate politics at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada.
