Vijay Pathak

Vijay Pathak is a junior from Luxembourg and Toulouse, France, majoring in Ethics, Politics, and Economics. His academic interests lie at the intersections of statecraft, international law, international socialism, and the foreign and security policies of the EU and United States. His interest in the role the military plays in these areas stems from his experience in the British Royal Air Force’s CCF prior to studying at Yale. Vijay is determined to develop a global perspective on his areas of interest, and to this end has completed coursework in international relations at Bocconi University in Milan, and most recently, in International Law at the University of Oxford. His ambition of fostering EU-US ties also extends to business, an avenue he has pursued through internships in global private equity and real estate as well as creating his own startup in the education sector. Vijay is currently conducting research on adopting a global treaty on crimes against humanity with the Yale Law School, is fluent in English, French, Dutch, and German, and is also an avid fan of the French football team.
