Agentic AI for Conflict Analysis & Decision-Making
NVIDIA Certified Professional: Agentic AII am a PhD researcher in International Conflict Management at Kennesaw State University. I design, build, and evaluate agentic AI systems (fully or semi-autonomous) that operationalize established frameworks in conflict analysis and decision-making, refining those frameworks through implementation.
My work bridges two domains that rarely speak to each other: the nuanced, context-dependent world of international conflict resolution and the structured, parameterized architecture of AI agent systems.
“Where conflict theory meets computational architecture—building AI systems that understand the complexity of human conflict.”
Structured Conflict Assessment
Examining the dynamics of interstate and intrastate conflict: actors, drivers, structures, escalation patterns, and pathways to resolution. The substantive foundation of all my work.
Structured Analytical Techniques (SATs) & Bias Mitigation
Applying structured analytical techniques to improve the quality and rigor of conflict assessment, reducing cognitive bias and strengthening the epistemic foundations of analysis.
AI-Assisted Conflict Analysis
Leveraging AI as a methodological tool, integrating conflict frameworks and structured analytical techniques into AI agents that enhance the speed, depth, and rigor of conflict assessment.
One integrated system: domain knowledge and analytical techniques woven into AI agents that produce faster, bias-mitigated conflict analysis.
Conflict Analysis Agents
AI agents grounded in conflict management theory, encoding escalation dynamics, negotiation frameworks, and stakeholder analysis into structured analytical tools that assist researchers and analysts.
SAT-Integrated Reasoning
Structured analytical techniques embedded within AI-assisted workflows, ensuring that AI-enhanced conflict analysis maintains the same analytical rigor and bias mitigation as traditional expert assessment.
Crisis Simulation Design
AI-enhanced humanitarian crisis simulations, designing scenarios that test decision-making under complexity, as presented at DEF CON 33 with Prof. Volker Franke.
