About me:
My name is Hans-Inge Langø ("ø" pronounced kind of like "uhh", spelled "oe" in English), and I am a social scientist focused on solving complex issues using a wide range of methodological tools, including statistical modeling, machine learning, game theory, and case studies. I am currently affiliated with the Clements Center for National Security, and I was recently a Postdoctoral Fellow and Lecturer in the Department of Government at the University of Texas at Austin.
My academic research focuses on international security, civil wars, and cybersecurity. I received my PhD from UT Austin in 2021, and in my dissertation I explain how external actors can cause intrastate war, and also how these conflicts can expand and become interstate wars. During my time at UT Austin, I have been a research assistant at the Strauss Center, a teaching assistant in the Department of Government, and the instructor of record for a two-course sequence designed to teach undergraduate students social science research through a combination of lectures, mentoring on individual projects, and research internship.
Before coming to UT Austin I worked as a junior research fellow at the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI), with a particular focus on cyber security and power. I was the lead analyst on NUPI's contribution to the cyberspace part of MNE7, a multinational military concept development campaign. As part of that, I worked on a team that developed and conducted a limited objective experiment to assess situational awareness and information sharing during a cyber security crisis. Domestically, I worked with stakeholders across the public and private sector and with civilian and military government agencies. I was also one of the co-organizers and hosts of a seminar series focused on Norwegian cyber security issues, including the work to develop national cyber strategies.
Prior to joining NUPI, I interned at various think tanks in Washington, D.C., and during that time I contributed analysis on defense spending and policy for the Sustainable Defense Task force and the Domenici-Rivlin Debt Reduction Task Force. I hold an M.A. in International Relations from Boston University and a B.A. in Journalism from Oslo University College.
