A deep dive into Shaun Yen's exploration of EU and U.S. legal frameworks regarding sustainable aviation fuel.

Shaun Yen, an experienced lawyer specializing in commercial transactions with over a decade of expertise, is currently pursuing an LLM in International Aviation Law at Université Toulouse Capitole.

Recently joining the Institute for Sustainable Aviation (ISA) as a research intern, Shaun is collaborating under the guidance of Laurent Joly, ISA’s Director, and Laurent Grosclaude, Head of International Aviation Law LL.M at Université Toulouse Capitole.
