Ami Pedahzur

I am a professor at the Leon H. Charney School of Marine Sciences at the University of Haifa.
Since 2023, I have served as the Institutes for Strategic Research (ISR ) director.
I also lead the MA program in Maritime Strategies.
My research focus over the last decade was understanding the interrelation between technology and humans in modern warfare. 
I also study the Israeli radical right, terrorism, and counterterrorism.
From 2005 to 2023, I was a faculty member at the Government Department of The University of Texas at Austin.
​Most recently, I held the Ralph W Yarborough Centennial Professorship of Liberal Arts. I have a Ph.D. in political science from the University of Haifa.
