About
My research looks at the way that states determine what counts as militarily significant technology. It draws on and contributes to the literature on classification, boundary work, international political/technological institutions, and the co-production of social and technological systems.
I am currently the Academic Coordinator for the Center for Science, Technology, Medicine, & Society at the University of California, Berkeley, where I am also a Visiting Scholar. In addition, I am an Associate Research Fellow at Harvard University’s Program on Science, Technology, & Society (STS), located within the Kennedy School of Government. From 2009-2011, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard, which was a joint appointment with the STS Program and the School of Engineering & Applied Science. I completed my doctoral research in 2009 within the Institute for Science, Innovation, & Society (formerly the James Martin Institute for Science & Civilization) at the University of Oxford. This research, supervised by Professor Steve Rayner, was on the Wassenaar Arrangement, an international informal group that works to prevent destabilising accumulations of conventional arms and dual-use technologies in regions of concern.
