RESEARCH


My research interests include Nuclear Arms Control, Deterrence, Disarmament, and Nonproliferation; Emerging Technologies and their impact on International Security; Euro-Atlantic and European Security; as well as International Security Institutions. In particular, my research focuses on the role of the United States, Russia, and NATO. I am especially interested in the following topics:

  • Nuclear Policies
  • Emerging Technologies (AI, LAWS, Cyber, AM, Drones, Hypersonic Vehicles)
  • NATO and Conventional Deterrence
  • U.S., German, and Russian Foreign and Security Policy
  • OSCE and Conventional Arms Control/CSBMs
  • Cooperative Security in Europe
