Research Interests

In my research, I concentrate on the intersection between technology & political violence. I study how actors use propaganda, information dissemination, technology, and strategic communication. I analyze how these actors utilize these tactics, through traditional media and modern communications, as tools for change, mobilization, and grand strategy.
