48 DOI-registered research works across Zenodo and SSRN covering autonomous systems governance, AI defense doctrine, escalation risk, authority lifecycle architecture, and quantum-communications governance, alongside seventy-four original opinion and analysis pieces published across eighteen professional and national outlets. All research works are open-access and verifiable via DOI or SSRN abstract IDs, and every commentary placement links to its publisher.
Collaborative research co-authored with Lynn University faculty, with both authors listed on the public SSRN record. These working papers apply the AUTHREX authority-governance framework to the automotive (drive-by-wire) and critical-infrastructure (ICS / SCADA) domains.

The Ingratitude Paradox: A Causal Mechanism of Democratic Discounting of Successful Protection
International Journal of Contemporary Security Studies (Faculty of Security Studies, University of Belgrade) · Vol. 2, No. 2 · Double-blind peer reviewed, open access (CC BY 4.0) · Published online 6 Aug 20262026Peer-Reviewed Article
Theory-building and mechanism-specification study. Specifies a five-stage causal mechanism by which democratic publics systematically discount protective action that has succeeded, grounded in the securitization literature and the availability-heuristic tradition in risk perception, with scope conditions set by a contrastive case and a stated falsifiable cross-case prediction identified as untested.
