Hello! I am an Assistant Professor of International Relations with the Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University. My research focuses on U.S. foreign policy, international relations theory, Cold War history, and international security, with particular emphasis on great power competition and grand strategy. Click through the links at top for summaries of my major projects and copies of principal publications.
I received my Ph.D in Political Science from MIT, and have held fellowships with the Belfer Center, George Washington University, and Dartmouth College. My work has been supported by the Stanton Foundation, Koch Foundation, and Woodrow Wilson Center. Prior to BU, I was an Assistant Professor with the Bush School at Texas A&M.
Cornell University Press published my first book, Rising Titans, Falling Giants: How Great Powers Exploit Power Shifts, in 2018. Additional research is in International Security, International Politics, the Journal of Strategic Studies, The Washington Quarterly, and other venues.
