I research information technology and international security, with a focus on cyber and outer space. More specifically, I look at how technology affects conflict and global governance. In addition, I research the intersection of technology and human rights, focusing on censorship and media manipulation.
Previously, I was a researcher with the Technology and Social Change Project at Harvard Kennedy School’s Shorenstein Center and an Open Technology Fund Information Controls Fellow. I am currently doing my PhD in Political Science at the University of Toronto and affiliated with the Citizen Lab at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy. 🤓
