Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Tufts University. During AY 2024-25 I am a Visiting Research Scholar at Stanford’s Center for International Security & Cooperation (CISAC).

In my research I look at how interstate conflict escalation dynamics are shaped by leader and elite responsiveness to domestic political and institutional pressures.

I received my PhD from Yale University in 2022. I grew up in Islamabad, Pakistan. I can be reached at fahd.humayun@tufts.edu and you can also follow me on X.
