Her research focuses on two, often intersecting, areas: \u0026nbsp;reducing the threat of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and understanding the role of emerging technologies for security.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EHer work aims to understand and explain the role of technology and technological diffusion for national security at strategic and operational levels. In the changing post-Cold War environment, the most advanced military power no longer guarantees national or international security in a globalized world in which an increasing number of nation-states and non-state actors have access to new and potentially devastating dual-use capabilities. The long-term goals of her work are to understand the underlying drivers of technological innovation and how technology affects national security and modern warfare. She is interested in both the scholarly, theoretical level discourse and in the development of new strategic approaches and executable policy options to enable US dominance and to limit the proliferation of unconventional weapons.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Students enjoy coffee with Georgia Tech\u0027s faculty from all disciplines"}],"uid":"28036","created_gmt":"2014-09-17 11:00:17","changed_gmt":"2017-04-13 21:21:41","author":"Alison Hemmelgarn","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2014-10-27T11:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2014-10-27T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2014-10-27T12:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2014-10-27 15:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2014-10-27 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2014-10-27 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"290801","name":"Grand Challenges"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"10377","name":"Career\/Professional development"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
