My research utilizes insights from cognitive psychology and neuroscience to explain foreign policy. Currently, I am using this approach to understand military deterrence in the conventional, nuclear, and cyber domains. The research is funded by the Department of Defense, with the goal of improving deterrence policies and thereby reduce the prospect of military conflict.
