Dr. Mirza Sadaqat Huda is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Global Asia Research Cluster, School of Social Sciences, Nanyang Technological University (NTU).

His main interest is on multilateral responses to non-traditional security issues, with a particular focus on South Asia. His research explores the geopolitical factors that determine the efficacy of regional organisations such as SAARC and ASEAN to facilitate cooperation on energy and water security and sustainable development. He is also interested in evaluating the ‘spill over’ effects of such collaboration on conflict resolution.

He also worked as a Teaching Fellow at the Griffith Asia Institute of Griffith University where he taught a course on sustainable development.
