About
I am an Assistant Professor of International Security at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies of Boston University. My research engages questions at the intersection of international security, the domestic determinants of defense policy, and the role of ideas, norms, and institutions in national security decision-making. My work focuses on how states fight war, from examining the choices that states make in the development of their military arsenals, to thinking about the role of the means and methods of warfare in planning for and the actual conduct of military operations, and to reflecting upon why certain technologies and practices become disregarded. In this context, I also explore the linkages and commonalities between traditionally divergent issue areas, such as conventional and nuclear capabilities or nuclear dangers and climate change.
