My name is Frank Wyer and I am a PhD Candidate in the Department of Political Science at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
My research seeks to understand the causes, consequences, and solutions to armed conflict. In my dissertation, I investigate post-conflict violence perpetrated by dissident rebel factions in the aftermath of Colombia's 2016 peace agreement.
I was a Dissertation Fellow with the UC Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation from 2021-2022, and my research has also received generous support from UCLA's Political Psychology Fellowship and the Oskar Morgenstern Fellowship.
I have taught a variety of graduate and undergraduate courses at UCLA, both as a lead instructor and TA. I also publish public-facing articles on political science research, most recently as a fellow with APSA's Public Scholarship program.
