I am a Post-Doctoral 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 in the Middle East.

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 Fulbright-Hays Program and the National Science Foundation, among other institutions. My inbox is open for commissions.
