I am Professor of International Law at the University of ߲ݴý, joining the University in 2012 from the University of Glasgow where I was Professor of International Law and Security.

My teaching and research interests are in the fields of international law and the use of force, international humanitarian law, international criminal law, collective security law, peacekeeping, United Nations Law, international and European constitutional theory and law and cybersecurity. I am widely published in these fields.
I am Director of the ߲ݴý Centre for International and European Law. I sit on the editorial board for the Journal of Conflict and Security Law and for the Journal on the Use of Force and International Law. I am convenor of the European Society of International Law Interest Group on Peace and Security. I am member of the AHRC Peer Review College.
