Juljan Krause
2023-2025 Postdoctoral Fellow
Juljan Krause was an IGCC Postdoctoral Fellow in Technology and International Security based in Washington, D.C. from 2023-2025. Juljan’s expertise is in the international security implications of emerging technologies with a particular focus on the strategic competition between the United States and China over quantum technologies. Juljan holds a Ph.D. in computer science and international relations from the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom, and certificates in quantum computing and quantum algorithms from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. For his doctoral research, Juljan modeled exponential random graph models (ERGMs) on patent data to estimate Chinese progress in building up quantum capabilities.
Prior to moving to D.C., Juljan enjoyed a career in the UK civil service where he advised British regulators on quantum tech, artificial intelligence, and the regulation of digital markets. Juljan received an M.Sc. in the philosophy of science from the London School of Economics and a first degree in economics and mathematics from the University of Frankfurt in his native Germany. Juljan’s passion for quantum computing emerged from seminars in the philosophy of mathematics and physics, and he is always happy to chat about the relationship between science and technology.
