Stuart Rollo

Stuart Rollo serves as a Research Fellow at the Centre for International Security Studies within the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Sydney. He currently leads research on the Quantum Meta-Ethics project, examining geopolitical implications of emerging quantum technologies.

Rollo's scholarly work centers on critical analyses of geopolitics, imperial history, and US-China relations. He actively engages public discourse through regular contributions to major international media outlets including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, and ABC, where he addresses contemporary security challenges and cultural-political dynamics.

His recent publications reveal a dual focus: quantum technology's transformative potential for global security architecture (evident in 2024's 'Quantum 3.0' and 2023's 'Quantum Warfare'), and historical examinations of American empire with direct relevance to current US-China tensions (culminating in his 2023 monograph 'Terminus'). This intersection of historical analysis and future-oriented security studies defines his scholarly trajectory.

Rollo operates within the Centre for International Security Studies, a multidisciplinary research hub addressing evolving global security challenges through critical theoretical frameworks and policy-relevant scholarship.
