Asia is a student at Soka University, Japan, graduating in Peace and Human Rights. She has previously focused on human security, human rights protection, and nuclear weapons, and in 2022 , she was able to participate in the Hiroshima-ICAN Academy learning about nuclear risks from A-bomb survivors. Consequently, in her graduation thesis, she had discussed how nuclear deterrence is affecting security in Europe with a focus on what kind of peace is deterrence creating and how human security is impacted by it.
