Egemen Bezci, PhD

I develop analytical systems for decisions made with incomplete evidence. My experience spans fraud and risk, government and defence analytics, scientific evidence analysis and intelligence research.

I combine hands-on model development with explainability, monitoring, operational controls and human oversight—connecting analytical outputs with responsible decisions.

My university teaching began at the University of Nottingham in 2014 and has since taken me to Sweden, New Zealand, Taiwan and Austria. I have taught undergraduates, master's students and military professionals across politics, intelligence and quantitative methods.

Since 2025, I have taught recurring graduate and professional courses on Intelligence and Data Science at Universität für Weiterbildung Krems. My teaching connects analytical methods with the interpretation of evidence, methodological limits and professional judgement.

I began my career as a scholar of intelligence. I am the author of Turkish Intelligence and the Cold War, published by Bloomsbury and reviewed in the CIA’s Studies in Intelligence.

My most recent publication, with Nihat Ali Özcan, is a book chapter in Covert Action: National Approaches to Unacknowledged Intervention, published by Georgetown University Press in 2025.

My research has appeared in The Pacific Review, Middle Eastern Studies and the Journal of Intelligence History, with policy writing in War on the Rocks, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, The National Interest, among others. My research has received support from fellowships and grants in Taiwan, Sweden, the United States and the United Kingdom.
