Speaker Bio
Areas of Expertise
Technology and the rise and fall of great powers, political economy of innovation, China's scientific and technological capabilities, emerging technologies and international security
Current Research
My research agenda centers on emerging technologies and international politics. My book manuscript investigates how technological revolutions affect the rise and fall of great powers. By analyzing historical cases of industrial revolutions that sparked power transitions and conducting statistical analysis on cross-country technology adoption, I develop insights for how emerging technologies like AI could affect the U.S.-China power balance. Other research projects tackle how states should identify strategic technologies, innovation-centrism in assessments of national scientific and technological capabilities, and interstate cooperation on nuclear safety and security technologies.
