I build bridges between academic research and policy practice. As a sociologist of law focused on authoritarianism and authoritarian legalism. In parallel, I’ve led applied research teams that inform decision-makers: at the University of Chicago’s CPOST, I managed the Arabic Propaganda Analysis Team and briefed the U.S. National Security Council and European partners on extremist messaging trends, with findings cited in public outlets and policy discussions. At DAWN, my investigations into legal repression and transnational targeting fed congressional staff briefings and appeared in human-rights reporting, translating complex patterns of abuse into actionable evidence. Earlier, as a media analyst at SOSi, I synthesized OSINT for the U.S. State Department and NATO to support day-to-day security assessments. In the think-tank world, I founded and scaled the Atlantic Council’s Arabic program to expand policy reach, and I currently drive Arabic editorial strategy at AGSIW, where program reforms measurably increased readership and engagement. My publications span peer-reviewed scholarship and policy briefs aims at producing rigorous analysis with real-world uptake.
