Neil Christopher Renic serves as a Researcher at the Centre for Military Studies within the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Social Sciences, Department of Political Science. He concurrently holds a Fellowship at the Institute for Peace Research and Security Policy, University of Hamburg. His institutional affiliations position him at the intersection of military ethics, international law, and emerging warfare technologies, with documented office hours indicating active engagement in academic duties. His foundational work includes the 2020 Oxford University Press monograph Asymmetric Killing: Risk Avoidance, Just War, and the Warrior Ethos . Renic's research program critically examines warfare's evolving character through dual lenses of technological innovation and ethical constraint. His primary focus areas—emerging military technologies, just war theory, and armed conflict regulation—converge in investigations of autonomous weapons systems' moral implications and the strategic consequences of battlefield misconduct. This interdisciplinary approach bridges political philosophy with empirical security studies, particularly analyzing how drone warfare and algorithmic targeting reshape accountability frameworks and humanitarian law compliance. His scholarship consistently challenges technological solutionism while exploring pathways for maintaining moral restraint in increasingly automated combat environments. Analysis of his 2023-2025 publications reveals a methodological pattern combining theoretical rigor with contemporary case studies, particularly Ukraine conflict analysis and nuclear deterrence frameworks. His work demonstrates growing interdisciplinary traction, evidenced by social media engagement across 102 X accounts and coverage in 9 news outlets for key publications. The research trajectory shows increasing attention to systemic accountability challenges in algorithmic warfare, with recent articles emphasizing the 'tragedy trap' of unaccountable weapons systems and the 'crimes of dispassion' inherent in automated killing. Renic maintains active scholarly communication through Opinio Juris and peer-reviewed journals including Ethics and International Affairs and Australian Journal of International Affairs . His collaborative network spans European security institutions, with notable co-authorship patterns indicating strong research partnerships in military ethics. While specific grant funding isn't detailed in available materials, the international scope of his collaborations suggests participation in multinational research initiatives focused on emerging security challenges. Based at the Centre for Military Studies (Øster Farimagsgade 5, Copenhagen), Renic contributes to one of Scandinavia's leading security research hubs. His work directly informs ongoing policy debates about lethal autonomous weapons regulation, with particular relevance to European Union arms control frameworks and NATO's evolving doctrine on emerging technologies. The Centre's interdisciplinary structure facilitates his integration of philosophical ethics with practical security policy analysis.

Armend Bekaj serves as a Researcher at Uppsala University's Department of Peace and Conflict Research since January 2021, where he contributes to the Alva Myrdal Centre for Nuclear Disarmament as part of Working Group 2 on International Measures for Compliance to Nuclear Disarmament Regimes. His work bridges academic research with policy application through active collaboration with Professor Peter Wallensteen on nuclear sanctions regimes. His educational foundation includes a PhD from the University of Sheffield and a Master in Conflict Resolution from the University of Bradford's Peace Studies Department. This training supports his mixed-methods approach with emphasis on qualitative analysis of complex political transitions. Bekaj's research critically examines two interconnected domains: nuclear disarmament verification mechanisms and the political trajectories of post-conflict societies. His Western Balkans expertise informs analyses of democratization versus autocratization trends, particularly regarding former combatants' roles in institution-building. Current projects focus on sanctions efficacy in nuclear non-proliferation and long-term democratic consolidation in transitory contexts. Recent publications reveal a methodical progression from regional case studies (Kosovo/North Macedonia) toward comparative nuclear policy frameworks. The 2024 edited volume on sanctions demonstrates growing influence in disarmament scholarship, while his Global State of Democracy contributions establish credibility in quantitative democracy assessment. As convener of DPCR's internship programme for Bachelor's and Master's students, Bekaj facilitates practical engagement with peace research. His pre-academic career includes significant project leadership at International IDEA (developing democracy indices), OSCE Kosovo (as Chief of Analysis), and USAID civil society initiatives, demonstrating consistent policy-relevant expertise.

Dr. Valeriia Gergiieva serves as a Visiting Research Fellow at the Institute for Peace Research and Security Policy (IFSH) in Hamburg, Germany, within the 'Arms Control and Emerging Technologies' research area. She concurrently holds research fellowships at the Odessa Center for Nonproliferation and the Center for International Studies, Faculty of International Relations at Odesa I. I. Mechnikov National University, Ukraine. Her prior appointments include Visiting Fellowships at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS) in Monterey (2019) and The Arctic University of Norway's Centre for Peace Studies (2018), alongside a 2018-2019 research exchange at IFSH. Gergiieva's research program centers on nuclear proliferation threats in contemporary geopolitics, specifically analyzing nuclear weapons as political instruments and US Nonproliferation policy through critical case studies of Iran and North Korea. She examines Iran's strategic culture to evaluate JCPOA re-engagement possibilities and investigates how nuclear programs evolve from nonproliferation concerns to deterrence frameworks, with particular attention to regional security dynamics in the Middle East and Northeast Asia. Her methodological approach integrates strategic culture analysis with international relations theory to decode state behavior in high-tension contexts. Her 2019-2021 publications reveal consistent thematic focus on nuclear security challenges, including analyses of North Korea's deterrence posture, US policy evolution toward Iran across presidential administrations, and oil-driven alliances in US-Saudi relations. By applying theoretical frameworks like neorealism and neoliberal institutionalism to nuclear policy questions, her work bridges academic scholarship and practical nonproliferation challenges, highlighting how emerging geopolitical instabilities reshape traditional arms control paradigms. At IFSH, Gergiieva contributes to the 'Arms Control and Emerging Technologies' research group, collaborating on projects addressing technological dimensions of modern security threats. Her work within this interdisciplinary team focuses on how emerging technologies intersect with nuclear proliferation risks, supporting the institute's mission to develop innovative approaches to contemporary arms control challenges through rigorous policy-relevant research.
