I am an assistant professor in the Strategic and Operational Research Department at the U.S. Naval War College and a core faculty member in the Cyber & Innovation Policy Institute. 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.
