As a MA student, my research focuses on modern U.S. history, especially during the Cold War era. I am particularly intrigued by the influence of scientific and technological advancements on cultural perceptions and experiences during the early years of the Cold War, with specific regard to popular culture during the Atomic Age and the Space Race. I also look to examine the early Cold War from a diplomatic perspective, utilizing early 20th-century Soviet and U.S. history to examine the setting of the stage for the Cold War.
