My research focuses on the development of regulatory processes in the context of emerging disruptive technologies.

Emerging dis­ruptive technologies, including autonomy in weapon systems and cyber weapons, are pro­foundly altering the character of warfare, thereby posing novel challenges to the re­gulation of such weapon systems. My research ex­plores the extent to which traditional arms control mechanisms are reaching their limit in regulating these techno­logies in military contexts, and how new forms of regulation are emerging through norm-setting pro­cesses and soft law. A multitude of actors exert in­fluence on these processes as norm entrepreneurs, thereby shaping the e­volution of regulatory frameworks.
