I am a History DPhil focusing on Cold War intelligence history, and a member of the Oxford Changing Character of War Centre. My research examines the fluctuation of Anglo-American intelligence experts between underestimates and overestimates of Soviet technological programmes – nuclear, aviation, missiles and space – in the early Cold War, 1945-1961. I am particularly interested in integrating the study of intelligence assessments with broader currents in American strategy, scientific debate and public discourse. I am also a member of a research project charting 19th century global humanitarian aid networks to the Armenians. Previously, I completed my MA in Modern History at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, and my BA in Philosophy and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Haifa.
