I am an Assistant Professor of Digital Systems and International Affairs at the Georgia Institute of Technology’s Sam Nunn School.
My research sits at the intersection of international security, cybersecurity and critical infrastructure protection, and computer science, with a particular focus on the geopolitics of and strategic competition over quantum and cloud infrastructures, AI, and internet technologies.
My work examines how emerging technologies reshape power, dependency, and competition across states and firms.
