I am the Harry Frank Guggenheim Research Fellow at the University of Cambridge’s Pembroke College and a non-resident fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School’s Middle East Initiative. My academic work examines the impact of big data and machine learning on military conflict.

Alongside my academic work, I work as an independent researcher with civil society organizations in the region and as a freelance journalist. My writing on warfare, automation, and digital rights has appeared in Foreign Policy, The Baffler, +972 Magazine, The Boston Review, among other outlets. I have a PhD in Cultural Anthropology from Duke University. I recieved a Masters in Social Sciences from the University of Chicago and a BA in American Studies (summa cum laude) from Tufts University. My research has been supported by the Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center, the Fulbright-Hays Program, and the National Science Foundation, among other institutions. My inbox is open for commissions.
