My research focuses on international economics, green trade, sustainable development, protectionist policies, and customs law. In addition to my academic work, I also conduct research-based evaluations, consultancy, and expert opinions in the areas of customs procedures, trade policies, and legal interpretations.

This platform is a personal space where I share my academic work, reflections on current developments in the customs world, and occasionally, notes from everyday life.
A bit of books, a bit of customs law, and a bit of life…
