Professor | University of Haifa
I am a Professor at the Leon H. Charney School of Marine Sciences and the Department of Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies at the University of Haifa. I direct four research units: the Chaikin Chair for Geo-Strategy, the Ezri Center for Iran and Gulf States Research, the Maritime Policy & Strategy Research Center, and the Wydra Division for Shipping & Ports. I also lead the MA program in Maritime Strategy.
From 2005 to 2023, I was a Professor in the Department of Government at The University of Texas at Austin, where I held the Ralph W. Yarborough Centennial Professorship of Liberal Arts.
My research focuses on modern warfare and technology, terrorism and counterterrorism, political extremism, and geostrategy. I hold a Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Haifa.
