Walt Sansot serves as a Part-Time Assistant Professor at the University of Georgia's School of Public and International Affairs (SPIA) and holds a Nonresident Fellowship at the Benson-Bertsch Center for International Trade and Security (CITS). With over 40 years of experience in nuclear operations and national security, his career spans U.S. Department of Energy facilities, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Westinghouse Savannah River Company, commercial nuclear industry, and U.S. Navy Submarine Service.
He earned a Master of Science in International Policy Management from Kennesaw State University and a Bachelor of Science in Sociology with a minor in Nuclear Technology from Regents Colleges. His research concentrates on nuclear security frameworks, nonproliferation strategies, and strategic trade policy with specialized focus on Gulf and Middle Eastern geopolitical dynamics.
Dr. Sansot has produced classified analytical reports for governments in the Gulf and Middle Eastern regions, though specific publications remain undisclosed due to security restrictions. His work directly supports national security objectives through technical advisory roles in international nonproliferation efforts.
He has received multiple Department of Energy and corporate awards for national security contributions, though award names are not publicly specified in available documentation. These recognitions stem from his operational leadership at nuclear material production facilities and nonproliferation initiatives.
As a Nonresident Fellow at CITS, he contributes to the center's mission in strategic trade education and international security policy development. His practitioner background in nuclear facility management provides critical real-world context to academic programs at SPIA, particularly within security-focused curricula.
