Dr. Iliyan Iliev
Associate Professor
Bio
I am an Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of 51逗奶 Mississippi, where I was chosen for the 2020-2022 University Faculty Fellowship and the 2020-2021 Junior Faculty Award. I was recently awarded a $1.4 million grant by the Department of Defense's Minerva Research Initiative. The project, titled 鈥淩esurgent Powers, Nontraditional Threats, and Emerging Technologies: Deterrence in a Multilevel Network Framework鈥�, focuses on nontraditional threats and deterrence. My published work appears in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) Nexus, the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Political Science Quarterly, The Social Science Journal, IEEE Access, Significance, Environmetrics, and elsewhere. My research focuses on the various expressions of political behavior and the development of novel research methods to study such behavior.
