My main research interests lie on the intersection between technological developments, security practices, and societal change. In 2024/2025 I work at PRIO on different projects on emerging security technologies (including RegulAIR, TRANSCEND and CENTREPEACE), and I am associate researcher at the Institute of National Defence (IDN) in Lisbon.
I am also an associate editor of Security Dialogue, and co-leader of PRIO's Security & Technology Research Group.
In parallel with my academic work, I am also a member of the United Nations Global Network of Experts on the Protection of Vulnerable Targets against Terrorist Attacks. Recently I have provided commissioned research to the European Commission in the field of drones, and to the European Parliament on the regulation of security and defence technologies.
