About Me
I am an Associate Professor of Military and Security Studies at the School for Advanced Nuclear Deterrence Studies, Air Command and Staff College. My research and teaching focus on nuclear deterrence, strategic stability, and international security, bridging the worlds of theory, policy, and practice.
My Research
Strategic Stability and Interpretive Divergence
Strategic Stability and Interpretive Divergence
My research explores the evolving dynamics of nuclear deterrence, escalation, and strategic stability in an increasingly complex international system. Across my work, I seek to bridge the theoretical traditions of international relations with the practical realities of nuclear institutions and policy, drawing on both academic inquiry and nearly a decade of professional experience within the U.S. nuclear enterprise. This dual vantage point allows me to address the enduring puzzles of nuclear politics while developing frameworks that resonate with both scholars and practitioners.
