Nivedita Jhunjhunwala

Ph.D. Candidate  ·  University of Texas at Austin  ·  Predoctoral Fellow, Stanford CISAC (2026–27)

I am a US-India Fellow at the Stanford Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC) and a Ph.D. Candidate in Government at the University of Texas at Austin, specializing in International Security, International Law, and Foreign Policy. My research examines how global audiences perceive and react to international conflicts and violations of international law. I also study state reputation and perceptions more generally in the context of the global south, and the intersection of emerging technologies and politics.

I am originally from Mumbai, India. I received my B.A. in Political Science and Global & International Studies, with a minor in Philosophy, from the State University of New York at Oswego in May 2021. I am currently a Graduate Fellow at the Clements Center.
