01
Investigates how institutional records can support — or fail to support — claims of meaningful participation, review, remedy and learning in complaint, grievance, mediation-linked and hybrid procedures.
Research methodology in development
Examines how the institutional integration of mediation into judicial systems reshapes the contemporary meaning of the right to a fair trial under Article 6 ECHR.
Doctoral and continuing research
Defines rights-compatible guardrails for mandatory and court-connected mediation without hollowing out autonomy, access to court, procedural fairness or protection of vulnerable parties.

Co-authored scholarship on mediation, environmental governance and technology policy.
