About Dylan Miars

I am a nuclear security and emerging technology researcher focused on understanding how innovation shapes risk, resilience, and global stability. My work sits at the intersection of security studies, political analysis, and rapidly evolving technologies, with a particular emphasis on how complex systems can be safeguarded against misuse, disruption, and unintended consequences.Raised in Southern California and shaped by academic and professional experiences in the Bay Area, I am driven by a commitment to high-impact, mission-oriented work. I approach problems with an operational mindset—bridging theory and practice to develop strategies that are not only analytically sound, but actionable in real-world environments.My experience spans:Nuclear security and strategic risk analysisEmerging technologies and their security implicationsPolitical research on organizational formation, radicalization, and influenceOperational support and systems thinkingAcross these domains, I focus on identifying vulnerabilities, anticipating second-order effects, and designing solutions that are both durable and scalable. I draw from interdisciplinary research and continuously track developments across technology, policy, and global security landscapes to inform my work.I am particularly interested in collaborating with researchers, policymakers, and organizations working on high-stakes problems—especially those aligned with long-term risk reduction and effective, evidence-based impact.If you\'re working on a complex challenge or exploring ideas in security, technology, or strategy, I welcome the opportunity to connect.
