About
I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Political Science at Duke University, where I work in the Ward lab on the ICEWS project (Integrated Crisis Early Warning System). I received a Ph.D. degree in political science from Florida State University in 2012 and I am currently also an active-duty National Guard officer. I am interested in applying quantitative methods to predictive analysis and ultimately in forecasting the location and intensity of civil war violence.
My birthplace is in Germany, and I spent the first 16 years of my life between there and the Croatian coast before migrating to the US. In 2009 I was deployed to Iraq as a Engineer Battalion intelligence officer. My time there was cut short by a near-death brush with leukemia and I spent most of the following year undergoing treatment.
Here are my more recent academic working papers, and curriculum vitae.
For good measure, here is my Florida State website.

Hello Andy,
I am producing the Geospatial Revolution film series at Penn State Public Broadcasting. We are interested in using your Bosnia 1991 Municipalities Dataset for an animation that we are constructing for our third episode.

Please let me know if you can grant us permission.
Many thanks,
Stephanie
Hello Stephanie,
absolutely, you have permission. ACLED (Armed Conflict Location and Events Dataset) has data on violence during the Bosnian civil war if you are interested.

Hello, I am a masters student in Korea. I was looking for some work on constitutional design and democratic stability, and I came across your work and your blog (separately!). I find your article on the relationship between electoral system, economic crisis and democratic survival very interesting. I will follow your tumblr blog as well!
Hi and thank you!
