As a researcher, Ivan regularly contributes to scholarly publications, think tank reports, and a 2026 monograph (CUP). Since 2022, Ivan is Research Fellow at the International Centre for Defence and Security.
As an analyst, I build on interdisciplinary methods, fieldwork and quantitative research to produce time-sensitive analytical briefs and in-depth investigative reports. My fieldwork experience spans three continents, including countries such as India, Ethiopia and Russia. In all cases, I seek to bring clarity and insight into complex strategic landscapes, providing stakeholders with guidance about opportunities and threats.
As a consultant, I have assisted governments, embassies, and institutions in analysing Russian and European issues, transforming multifaceted data (OSINT, field studies, quantitative indicators) into concrete strategies and recommendations designed to respond to their analytical and operational needs.
I am pragmatic and friendly by personality, and a team player who treasures professionalism. I believe in building long-term relationships with colleagues and stakeholders based on trust and results.
