Claire Christensen, Brandeis University

Claire Christensen (she/her) is a rising junior at Brandeis University, studying both Economics and Political Science. She has a background in both research, in mostly behavioral economics and water policy, as well as political campaigns, where she led an opposition research team for a progressive candidate in Washington State, where she is from. Her interest in nuclear nonproliferation started this most recent semester when she took a fascinating class on nuclear weapons and international security, and specifically the role of game theory in the analysis of these security situations, which led her to want to continue to work on such issues. In her free time she likes to listen to lots of books and podcasts, as well as cook for her roommates.
