Edwin is a Ph.D. candidate at the UCD Sutherland School of Law. In 2015, he graduated with a Liberal Arts & Sciences degree from Tilburg University (the Netherlands), majoring in Law in Europe. During his bachelor, he completed the honours program ‘Discourses on Europe’ and also spent an exchange semester at the University of Western Australia (Perth), where he took courses in international law and politics.
He continued his studies at Tilburg University as Research Master in Law student, a two-year joint program with K.U. Leuven (Belgium). He graduated cum laude in 2017. During his masters, he fulfilled the role of Editor in Chief of the Tilburg Law Review, worked as a research assistant at Tilburg Law School’s departments of public law and environmental law and took an internship at the European department of the Dutch Ministry of Interior and Kingdom Relations.
Edwin is particularly interested in the drivers of compliance and the role of rule-setting in the field of EU environmental law. His research is based within the broader context of the ERC-funded Effective Nature Laws project. He has published in several internal peer-reviewed journals, including European Union Politics, The Review of European, Comparative, International Environmental law, and The Theory and Practice of Legislation.
