Education:
- PhD, Sapienza University of Rome
His research examines critical intersections between traditional international law frameworks and contemporary security challenges. Primary focus areas include:
- International law of armed conflict and cyber operations
- Use of force doctrines in digital warfare
- Nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament regimes
- Historical evolution of non-intervention principles
Recent scholarship analyzes how AI systems impact self-defense assessments and how historical intervention doctrines apply to cyber contexts.
Publication trends reveal progressive deepening of cyber law expertise, evolving from foundational cyber use-of-force analysis (2014) to current AI integration (2025). Nuclear non-proliferation remains a consistent thread, while historical methodology increasingly informs contemporary cyber challenges. Recent works emphasize state responsibility for cyber operations and proportionality in digital targeting.
