Research Co-ordinator; Co-Leader of Environmental Policy

Dr. Aidan Gnoth is utilizing his background as a public policy advisor for the New Zealand government and his extensive research experience to guide ACE’s efforts to develop in-depth policy briefs.

Aidan is a doctoral researcher with over six years of public policy and research experience and holds a PhD in Peace and Conflict studies from the National Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies (New Zealand). While his primary research interests focus on the humanitarian sector (including international development and peace-building) he has a passion for teaching and finding innovative ways to inform and educate the public on a variety of issues central to ACE’s mission.

Before joining ACE he worked as a researcher, political advisor, lecturer, and disaster relief coordinator, and he is excited about bringing his wide array of skills to our team. In his free time he enjoys skiing, hiking, hang gliding, and (when it’s raining) reading.

Aidan currently co-leads the Environmental Policy Research Team.
