Why were you interested in coming here?

I came to The Hague to advance my work on joint cyber attribution. The Hague Program on International Cyber Security brings together researchers, policymakers, and practitioners who focus on international cybersecurity and the governance challenges it entails. That mix of scholarship and real-world policy engagement made it the right environment for advancing my project.

What did you work on during the fellowship?

I focused on improving the framework I am developing for cooperative attribution, especially on how states manage uncertainty and address deceptive and AI-enabled tactics. I presented this work at the Annual Conference in early November. During my fellowship, I also presented another project I am leading with UC Berkeley – an AI-enabled cybercrime project. The feedback from the seminar’s participants was highly beneficial, and I hope to continue my engagement with the Program’s team on this issue.

What’s next for you?

I plan to continue building this line of research and to work with a broader set of scholars, industry practitioners, and policymakers. My goal is to strengthen the framework for joint attribution and translate it into concrete recommendations for governments facing complex decisions regarding how to respond to offensive cyber operations.
