About
Maryyum Masood is a rising scholar in the field of strategic studies, with a focused research agenda on the intersection of emerging military technologies, nuclear deterrence, and regional security in South Asia. Her work critically examines how the proliferation of advanced systems, particularly lethal autonomous weapon systems (LAWS), is reshaping the strategic balance between India and Pakistan. In her most cited paper, "Potential Impact of Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems on Strategic Stability and Nuclear Deterrence in South Asia" (2023, 2 citations), Masood argues that the unprecedented technological proliferation to India exacerbates Pakistan’s security dilemma, threatening the fragile stability of the region. This contribution is notable for its timely analysis of how LAWS could undermine traditional deterrence frameworks, a concern that resonates with policymakers and scholars alike. Masood’s research highlights the urgent need for dialogue on arms control in an era of rapid automation. As a young researcher, her work signals a promising trajectory in understanding how non-human agents may alter the calculus of conflict in one of the world’s most volatile nuclear neighborhoods.
