Current Research

My thesis explores the use of remote and autonomous weapons under International Humanitarian Law (IHL). It is a socio-legal analysis that combines traditional doctrinal analysis with semi-structured elite interviews of US Air Force Personnel and industry experts in BAE Systems. As well as concluding whether current IHL can deal with the new face of warfare, the research is carving out a unique space in which academic debate is combined with first-hand military and industry perspectives.
