Prof. Erik Lin-Greenberg

Professor Lin-Greenberg's research examines how emerging military technology affects conflict dynamics and the regulation and use of force. In his book project, he leverages experimental methods, archival research, elite interviews, and surveys to study how remote warfighting technologies – like drones and cyber warfare – shape crisis escalation. In other ongoing projects, he explores how technology and public opinion influence alliance politics and decisions on the use of force. He is also interested in the role of food in international politics.

His work has appeared in a variety of academic and policy outlets including Security Studies, Journal of Peace Research, International Peacekeeping, The Washington Post, Foreign Policy, and War on the Rocks. He was previously a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, and a Carnegie Predoctoral Fellow at Stanford University’s Center for International Security and Cooperation.
