Jean-François Bélanger is an assistant professor at the Institute for Military Operations at the Royal Danish Defence College in Copenhagen. He’s currently a senior non-resident fellow at the NATO Defense College and a non-resident fellow at the Brooks Tech Institute at Cornell University. Previously, he held post-doctoral positions at the Danish Institute for Advanced Studies at the University of Southern Denmark, in the department of Political Science at Waterloo University, and at the International Security Studies at Yale University. He has published on topics such as conventional and nuclear deterrence, crisis decision-making, and new and emerging technologies. He’s currently working on the deterrent effect of Air Power integration, Nordic Defence, wargaming and foresight analysis, the link between sleep deprivation, resilience, and decision-making, as well as multi-domains operations.
Jean-François is particularly interested in the ways in which geopolitical simulations and wargaming can be used to generate data in rare events, develop better heuristics for crisis decision-making, and how to better inform military exercises, doctrines, and operations.
