I developed communication skills through university teaching, international conference presentations, academic publishing and policy writing. I taught a course on peace and conflict at the Bandaranaike Centre for International Studies and contributed to teaching at the University of Milan. Consultancy for ARCI and the National Peace Council involved delivering staff training. Writing peer-reviewed articles, policy reports and public commentary has strengthened my ability to explain complex political issues to academic, professional and non-specialist audiences.

My research career has involved sustained collaboration across universities, research institutes and civil-society organisations. I co-founded the Italian Network for Kurdish Studies (RISC), co-organised international conferences and contributed to collaborative research involving institutions in Europe and South Asia. Co-authored publications, edited volumes and interdisciplinary projects have required coordinating contributions, reconciling different perspectives and working toward shared outputs. These experiences have strengthened my ability to build and maintain international professional partnerships.

Comparative political research has trained me to assess competing explanations, identify causal mechanisms and distinguish well-supported findings from uncertain claims. My publications examine rebel cooperation, political transformation and governance across different countries. Research on early-warning failures required critically assessing institutional assumptions and contrasting interpretations of political crises. Policy reports and consultancy assignments have further developed my ability to synthesise extensive and sometimes contradictory information into clear assessments and actionable conclusions.

Working across different countries, institutions and disciplines has encouraged me to question established assumptions and adapt my analytical approaches. Fieldwork in Turkey, Iraq and Sri Lanka exposed me to different political and cultural perspectives. I have applied knowledge developed in civil-war research to new questions concerning early warning, political risk, food security and governance. Interdisciplinary collaborations and engagement with academic and practitioner communities have strengthened my ability to identify connections between different fields and develop new research questions.

Completing a multi-country doctoral research project required sustained independent work, extensive fieldwork and the coordination of complex research activities. I subsequently developed several academic and policy-oriented projects while maintaining an active publication record. These activities required meeting deadlines, responding to critical feedback and managing overlapping responsibilities in research, teaching, consultancy and conference organisation. I have continued expanding my expertise and pursuing international research collaborations beyond individual appointments.

Research involving political violence and sensitive political issues has made ethical responsibility central to my professional practice. My doctoral fieldwork received formal university ethics approval, and I developed procedures for informed consent, confidentiality and the responsible handling of interview material. In academic publishing and policy research, I apply careful source attribution, distinguish evidence from interpretation and acknowledge uncertainty. Collaborative publications and editorial work have reinforced my commitment to research transparency, intellectual honesty and appropriate recognition of others' contributions.

Combining doctoral research, international fieldwork, teaching, consultancy and editorial responsibilities has required careful planning and prioritisation. I have developed ways to organise overlapping commitments, establish achievable milestones and adapt working schedules to changing research requirements. Working across several countries and institutional settings has also taught me to recognise the limits of my expertise, seek advice from colleagues when necessary and allocate time according to the importance and urgency of different responsibilities.

Fieldwork in Turkey, Iraq and Sri Lanka involved interviewing people with different political affiliations, experiences and perspectives. Conducting research on ethnic conflict and sensitive political questions required attentive listening, culturally appropriate communication and sensitivity to confidentiality concerns. I learned to formulate questions without imposing assumptions and to interpret accounts within their social and political contexts. Collaboration with researchers, civil-society organisations and local contacts further strengthened my ability to understand different priorities and communicate respectfully across cultural and professional boundaries.
