Bio
Daniel is a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Institute for Politics and Strategy at Carnegie Mellon University. His research focuses on the dynamics of violent conflict, especially in the Middle East and wider Islamic world. He is particularly interested in the psychological factors – including the biases and misperceptions – that drive conflicts, and how they can be mitigated or leveraged to promote peace.
To date, his research is published or forthcoming in journals like International Organization, the Journal of Conflict Resolution, Security Studies, Political Research Quarterly, and Studies in Conflict and Terrorism. Before arriving at CMU, he received his Ph.D. in political science at the Ohio State University and his B.A. in political science at the University of Pennsylvania.
