I joined Royal Holloway on 1 September 2008.  From January 2006 to August 2008, I was University Lecturer in International Relations and Fellow of St. Anne’s College, Oxford.  Before that, I was Assistant Professor at the Institute of Defence and Strategic Studies (now the Rajaratnam School of International Studies) in Singapore from 2002 to 2005.

 

I have held various visiting positions: Public Policy Scholar in the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington DC September-October 2008; Visiting Fellow at the Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies at the Australian National University September 2007; and Southeast Asian Fellow at the East-West Center Washington September-December 2004.

 

I was trained initially as a geographer at the undergraduate level in Oxford, going on to complete an M.Phil. in Environment & Development at Cambridge in 1997.  After that, I studied International Relations at Nuffield College, Oxford, earning an M.Phil. before completing my D.Phil. in 2001.
