Jasper
Quantitative Political Science student at the University of Edinburgh.
Researching Aviation Geopolitics and Air Power through a lens of Kaizen.
About me
I am a third-year quantitative student at the University of Edinburgh. My professional ethos is built on Ikigai (purpose-driven action) and Kaizen (continuous improvement), translating 16 months of logistics experience at UPS into rigorous research on aviation air power and geopolitics.
Using Stata, Python, and SQL, I model complex global systems while practicing Omotenashi—anticipating stakeholder needs to ensure operational consistency across my leadership and emergency response roles. I am dedicated to creating efficient, high-impact systems within the global aerospace and defense sectors.
How I work
Ikigai
Purpose-Driven Action
The alignment of professional mission with global impact. I apply this to my quantitative research in aviation air power and geopolitics, seeking to create efficient, high-impact strategic systems.
Kaizen
Continuous Improvement
The methodology of optimizing flow and eliminating operational waste. Informed by 16 months at UPS Supply Chain Solutions, where I leveraged data integrity to refine logistics and centre flow processes.
Omotenashi
Anticipatory Service
The practice of proactively anticipating stakeholder needs. I integrate this into my leadership as a Retail Team Leader and my emergency response as a First Aider to ensure meticulous procedural safety.

Keep in touch
I am always keen to connect with fellow researchers, industry professionals, and aviation enthusiasts working at the intersection of defense, diplomacy, and strategic air power.
As I progress with my quantitative research at the University of Edinburgh, I am particularly interested in discussing how aviation geopolitics and computational modeling can inform the future of global security and aerospace logistics.
