Professors

I am managing director of the World Trade Institute. I make strategic decisions with respect to: teaching programs (MSc, MAS, LLM, PhD); research strategy and direction; outreach programs. At the WTI we run an LLM program, an MAS program, CAS and DAS programs, and a cross-disciplinary graduate school. The team at the WTI coordinates and otherwise participates in a range of large-scale, multi-year research projects on trade and investment regulation, international migration, and sustainability.
