About Me

I am a PhD Candidate at LSU in Political Science, focused on the Governance of Technology.

I am currently an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Nicholls State University. While my major field focus has been on Comparative Politics with a secondary focus on International Relations, my primary research interests lie at the intersection of politics, technology, and society. This has required a political economic approach to best get a grasp on this important subject matter. 

I am also a co-founder of Vaero Aerospace Research and the Director of the Mars Colonial Research Project​

I am currently writing a monograph entitled "Space Civilization" examining the social science questions about building human settlements in space.

My dissertation focuses on two case studies of technological governance: Outer Space and the Internet. I earned my Doctorate in Poltical Science in December of 2015.

​My other work has begun to explore the concept of decentralization of technology and the impacts this has on the state and non-state actors.
This currently entails examining 3-D Printing and State Security. 

I have taught many courses over the last few years at both LSU and Nicholls State University. Here is a brief selections of course titles:
