Broadly, my research area involves examining state interventions in the management of specific emerging and transformative digital technologies. For instance, government investment in quantum technologies is increasingly positioned as a new form of sovereignty based on future-forward imaginings of the global commons law, the changing roles of actors, and public-private science and technology collaborations between cooperating democratic states. 

The governance of technologies, like quantum and AI, is increasingly a priority area for states as the process of digitization continues to accelerate the integration of technologies into daily life. Although a technology-centric lens may oversimplify the complexities of human life, in an era increasingly shaped by technology-defined digital sovereignty and geopolitical competition, it is crucial to understand how new technologies interact and how states may leverage them to exert their influence in the world.
