This person is no longer with the Carnegie Endowment.
Monika Heupel is a Visiting Scholar in the Carnegie Endowment’s Nonproliferation Project, assessing the United Nations Security Council’s approach towards nuclear terrorism. Prior to joining the Nonproliferation Project, she was as a Research Associate at the University of Bremen, Germany, (2002-2005), a Research Associate at the German Development Institute in Bonn, Germany, (2005) and a Postdoctoral Fellow at the United Nations University in Tokyo, Japan (2005-2006).
