About Adiv Kuray
I’m a recent graduate of The George Washington University with a B.A. in International Affairs, concentrating in Security Policy and minoring in Arabic Studies. My previous work primarily revolved around geopolitics, security, and regulatory risk, with experience conducting open-source intelligence (OSINT), geo-spatial intelligence (GEOINT), policy analysis, and strategic research across multiple regions and sectors.As an intern with the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), I supported the Middle East team by tracking the Axis of Resistance across Iraq and Syria. I had the opportunity to become a contributing author for several Iran Updates with ISW. During my time at the Politics & Society Institute in Jordan, I conducted research assessing the future of U.S-Syrian relations in a post-Assad context, evaluating U.S. sanctions, diplomatic recognition, and military posture. At Mosaic Insurance, I conducted foundational research on gun violence trends in the U.S, which supported the Political Violence team’s efforts to develop a specialized line of insurance coverage. I’m currently seeking junior research or analyst roles where I can apply my skills in writing, research, and geopolitical analysis to help organizations better navigate a rapidly evolving global landscape.
