Philipp Rombach is a Research Associate at the Center for Global Security Research at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). His research explores issues of space deterrence and escalation dynamics in the context of nuclear command and control assets in outer space.

Previously, he pursued an MA in Law and Diplomacy from The Fletcher School at Tufts University, where he focused on security studies and the nexus between emerging technologies and nuclear deterrence. For his master’s thesis, he conducted an elite survey examining the perceived and anticipated impacts of artificial intelligence on strategic nuclear stability.
