Welcome 

I am an Assistant Professor in the Professional Security Studies Department at New Jersey City University and serve as the Graduate Program Coordinator. I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from Binghamton University and an MA in International Peace & Conflict Resolution from American University.

My research explores the instrumentality of political violence and how dissident-government interactions effect tactical and strategic evolution, conflict processes, and international security - primarily protests and terrorism. I am most interested in two "big" questions. First, how domestic politics influence governments' and dissidents' tactics and violence. Second, how terrorism is used as a tactic for radicalization, recruitment, and political mobilization.
 
 
My research is published in International Organization, Terrorism and Political Violence, Conflict Management and Peace Science, Journal of Elections, Public Opinion & Parties, on Political Violence @ a Glance & Monkey Cage. I have several foreign policy and political analysis pieces published by Diplomatic Courier: A Global Affairs Magazine.

I teach undergraduate, graduate and doctorate international security and 
research methods & design courses. 

When not working, I'm at my boxing gym or off exploring NYC, Jersey City, or the Hudson Valley.
