I am assistant professor at the U.S. Naval War College and an incoming assistant professor of security studies at George Mason University’s Schar School of Policy and Government. My work examines military effectiveness, military innovation, and grand strategy. In another vein of research, I study identity politics and nationalism, with country expertise in China.
Previously, I was a Pre-Doctoral Fellow at Texas A&M University’s Albritton Center for Grand Strategy, a Hans J. Morgenthau Fellow at the University of Notre Dame, and a PhD Candidate-in-Residence at the Elliott School of International Affair’s Institute for Security and Conflict Studies.
I hold a Ph.D. in political science from The George Washington University, an M.A. in international affairs and economics from Johns Hopkins SAIS, and a B.A. in international affairs and religion from The George Washington University. During my courses of study, I was also a Boren Scholar at the University of Jordan and received a FLAS to study at Tsinghua University.
