I’m currently a postgraduate student at King’s College London, Department of Geography.

In June 2009, I finished my BA (Hons) International Relations at the University of Exeter, UK. Over the past year, I’ve conducted extensive research on Peak Oil in order to write my degree’s dissertation (How a decline in global oil production could affect IR). Amongst my interviewees, we can find Matthew Simmons, the former energy advisor to George, W. Bush, Dr. Yves Cochet, the former French environment minister and several prominent geologists and geophysicists.

I’ve recently joined the Energy Commission of the Mouvement Democrate (3rd European political party; Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe).
