Visiting Researcher at Program on Energy and Sustainable Development, Stanford University from August 2010 until August 2011.

Working with Ph. D. thesis with the working title: ”Petroleum, politics and power: The cases of Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Russia”. The project analyses the relationship between state petroleum companies and their state owners in the three countries.

As a student scholar in the same department she wrote a master thesis on Azerbaijan's foreign policy strategy, focusing on economics and bilateral relations with Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union and the use of energy resources as a power resource in these relations for the Russia Studies Programme, University of Oslo, which she finished in May 2007.
