Overview

Biography

Harun Dogo is a doctoral candidate at PRGS and a graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy with a degree in physics. He also holds two masters degrees from the Naval Postgraduate School, one in defense analysis, focusing on irregular warfare, and the other in applied physics, focusing on weapons development. As a physicist, Dogo has worked on projects in space physics, materials science and nuclear engineering. Prior to PRGS he served as an aviation officer in the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and has also spent time as a researcher at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory modelling radiation damage to structural materials for advanced nuclear reactor applications. At RAND his work has primarily focused on international security issues and a variety of U.S. defense policy topics. He has also done research on energy policy, economic development, innovation and science and technology policy. His PRGS dissertation research explores policies that dominant states in relative decline adopt in order to extend their influence over international affairs. In 2011-2012, as a Congressional Fellow with the American Political Science Association, Dogo spent a year serving on the professional staff of the U.S. Senate's Committee on Finance where he primarily worked on tax incentives for energy, innovation and manufacturing.
