I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Georgia State University. My research examines issues of international security, focusing on questions of strategy and statecraft on the brink of war. Specific interests include territorial conquest, the fait accompli, red lines, deterrence, coercion, crises, nuclear proliferation, and the causes of war. I am developing two book projects, Territorial Conquest in the Modern Era and Red Lines in International Politics, each with several associated articles and papers. I previously held positions as a postdoctoral fellow at the Belfer Center (Harvard Kennedy School), postdoctoral fellow at the Dickey Center (Dartmouth), and predoctoral fellow at the Center for International Security and Cooperation (Stanford). I received my PhD in Political Science from MIT.
