Max Smeets

Max Smeets was a cybersecurity policy fellow at New America.

Smeets' current book project focuses on the causes underlying cyber proliferation and restraint. The results of his research are valuable for understanding the likely changes in the future prevalence of cyber weapons. It clarifies to what degree this is an ‘inevitable’ development—and if/how it can be stopped.

Smeets was previously a college lecturer in politics at Keble College, University of Oxford. He has also held research positions at Oxford Cyber Studies Programme, Columbia University SIPA, Sciences Po CERI, and NATO CCD COE.

He holds an undergraduate degree from University College Roosevelt, Utrecht University, an M.Phil (Brasenose College) and DPhil (St. John's College) in international relations from the University of Oxford.
