Adapting to the ‘Transparent Battlefield’: Force Structure Evolution in Ukraine’s Drone Intensive-Intensive Warfare

Drawing on extensive quantitative and qualitative data from the Ukrainian battlefield, this study investigates how the increasing use of drones is reshaping military force structures.

From Assassins to Artillery: Strategic Transformation of Drone Warfare

Examining two decades of drone use in warfare, this research project traces the evolution of drone warfare and identifies its key developmental phases.

Machine Learning Analysis of Discursive Insecurity in Poland and Estonia

Through computational analysis of elite discourse—specifically lawmakers’ speeches in the parliaments of Poland and Estonia — this machine learning project examines how insecurity is constructed in response to Russia’s war in Ukraine.

Russian Narrative Strategy and the Erosion of the Post-Cold War European Security Order

Using machine learning to analyse the Russian president’s speeches between 2014 and 2022, this machine learning project traces how political language gradually constructed a narrative that made the war appear inevitable prior to the invasion launched on 24 February 2022.

Computational Mapping European Union Cohesion through Franco-German Security Relations

Using computational analysis of presidential and chancellorial speeches between 2020 and 2025, this machine learning project examines the growing divergence in security threat perceptions between France and Germany.

Methodological Limits and the Persistence of Uncertainty in Modern War Studies

Drawing on large-scale battlefield impact data analysed through machine learning models, this project examines the limits of datafied lethal decision-making in contemporary warfare.

Computational Analysis of Drone Ubiquitousness and Soldier Morale in Ukraine

Drawing on large-scale primary battlefield data—including material from Telegram channels, soldiers’ diaries, interviews, and surveys — this machine learning project examines the implications of drone warfare for the changing character of war.
