Marc Reyes

Before coming to CISAC, Marc was a PhD candidate in History at the University of Connecticut. His writing has been published in Technology and Culture and the Journal of Military History. Marc’s research has been supported by the Fulbright US Student Program, the Smith Richardson Foundation, and the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations.

His research investigates the history of Indian development, especially economically and scientifically, pre-and-post-independence. Marc’s dissertation, which he will revise into a book, is a diplomatic, political, and intellectual history of India’s atomic energy program, using its research of the atom as a lens to better understand the country’s thinking and actions during the Cold War and beyond. The project views India’s atomic energy program as a transnational project shaped by Indian and non-Indian actors.

When he is not teaching or researching Indian history, Marc enjoys hearing live music, watching old movies, and exploring new museums.
