PhD Candidate in Global Governance
I am a PhD candidate in Global Governance at the Balsillie School of International Affairs, University of Waterloo (Canada). I have a law degree from the University of Heidelberg (Germany) and graduated with a Masters of Public Policy as McCloy Scholar from the Harvard Kennedy School. Using a complex systems view, my long-term research interest concerns the nexus between climate change and security, which I would like to explore with the use of agent-based models. My dissertation focuses on the role of cognition in international climate politics. Using cognitive-affective maps and Q Method I investigate the different belief systems and thought patterns of participants in the climate negotiations, asking whether and how cognitive processes influence the search for cooperative solutions.
