I welcome inquiries for interviews and comments on issues of international affairs, especially concerning maritime security and crime, shipping accidents, oil spills, subsea data cables, African security and strategic dynamics in the Gulf of Guinea, Indian Ocean and Indo-Pacific. My research has frequently featured in news media, including tv shows (i.e. Al Jazeera, Deutsche Welle TV, BBC), podcasts (i.e. CIMSEC) and print (i.e. Lloyds List, Guardian, The Diplomat):
