Henrique Garbino has more than 15 years of combined experience in the military, humanitarian sector, and research across the fields of peace operations, civil-military coordination, and mine action. He is mainly interested in bridging theory and practice in these fields. With one foot in academia, Garbino is currently pursuing a doctoral degree in War Studies at the Swedish Defense University in Stockholm (2021—), where he researches violence and restraint by non-state armed groups, with an emphasis on the use of landmines, booby traps, and improvised explosive devices. With the other foot in practice, he is also part of different humanitarian deployment rosters as an explosive ordnance disposal and civil-military coordination specialist for short-term missions. His work has taken him from Brazil to Colombia, Gaza, Haiti, Nagorno Karabakh, Namibia, Tajikistan, and Ukraine.
Garbino is also a Global Fellow at the Center for Human Rights and Humanitarian Studies and an Associate Specialist at the Brazilian Network on Peace Operations, where he coordinates the working group on humanitarian disarmament.
