I teach courses in international security, deterrence, and nuclear proliferation. Previously, I was an assistant professor at the Air War College's Center for Strategic Deterrence Studies and a postdoctoral fellow at The University of Chicago, where I served as the Chicago Project on Security and Threats first nuclear proliferation fellow. I earned my Ph.D. in Political Science (2016) and M.A. in International Studies from the University of South Carolina.
My research and teaching interests are in international security, with a specific focus on issues of nuclear deterrence and nonproliferation. To this end, I actively collaborate on projects that explore nuclear deterrence, reversal, and latency.
