I am an Assistant Professor at the Carnegie Mellon Institute for Strategy and Technology (CMIST) at Carnegie Mellon University. Until 2024, I was an Assistant Professor at the School of Public Policy and the School of Cybersecurity and Privacy (courtesy) at Georgia Institute of Technology.
My research interests lie at the intersection of international security and technology, paying particular attention to the role of cyber power in domestic and international politics. My methodological areas of interest include spatial statistics, mathematical/computational modeling, text analysis, and network analysis.
My research has been published (or is forthcoming) in the British Journal of Political Science, International Studies Quarterly, Contemporary Security Policy, Policy & Internet, Journal of Peace Research, Journal of Conflict Resolution, Public Opinion Quarterly, Journal of Global Security Studies, Journal of Strategic Security, Texas National Security Review, Harvard National Security Journal, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), Cyber Defense Review, and several edited volumes and general-audience publications.
I co-founded the Digital Issues Discussion Group and founded the Cybersecurity Summer Institute.
I received degrees from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (PhD), New York University (MSc), City University of New York John Jay College (B.A.) and Kyiv National Linguistic University (B.A.).
