Increasingly sophisticated experimental\, computational\, and manufacturing techniques that emerged to support a strategy of science-based stockpile stewardship are now being applied as tools for vertical proliferation as emphasis shifts from ‘stewardship’ to production. The evolution of laboratory tools for weapons development comes with both challenges and opportunities for verification\, nonproliferation\, and disarmament. This talk will address the paradigm shift underway in the US and its implications for new plutonium pit production and the potential resumption of nuclear testing. \n\n\n\n                    \n                About the Speaker\n                \n                                            \n                                                                                                \n                                                                                        \n                                \n                                                                            Jane Vaynman\n                                                                    \n                                                                    Assistant Professor of Strategic Studies\, School of Advanced International Studies\, Johns Hopkins University \n                                                                Dr. Jane Vaynman is an Assistant Professor of Strategic Studies at the School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) at Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Vaynman’s work focuses on security cooperation between adversarial states\, the design of arms control agreements\, and the effects of technology on patterns of international cooperation and competition. From 2022-2024 she served a senior advisor in the Bureau of Arms Control\, Deterrence\, and Stability at the U.S. Department of State. Her prior academic appointments include the Department of Political Science at Temple University and the Elliott School of International Affairs\, George Washington University. She was also previously a Lightning Scholar at Perry World House at the University of Pennsylvania\, a Stanton Nuclear Security Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations\, and a Fulbright Fellow at the Carnegie Moscow Center. Dr. Vaynman received her Ph.D. in political science from Harvard University and B.A. from in international relations from Stanford University. \n\n                            \n                        \n                                    \n            \n        \n            \n\n        \n\n                        \n            Speakers\n            \n                                    \n                                                    \n                                                                    \n                                                                \n                                    Jane Vaynman\n                                                                            Assistant Professor of Strategic Studies\, School of Advanced International Studies\, Johns Hopkins University
