Alexander c. koch
Alexander Koch is an engineer with a background spanning computer engineering, applied physics, and machine intelligence. He holds an M.Eng. in Computer Engineering from Dartmouth College and both an M.Sc. and B.Sc. in Physics from the Technical University of Munich, where he was a Konrad Adenauer Scholar.
Most recently, he worked at the Tuck School of Business, developing large-scale, LLM-based news analysis systems to study corporate behavior and activist hedge fund interventions. His earlier experience includes machine-learning work on atrial fibrillation detection, CT image processing research, and a period in management consulting focused on digital-transformation projects. He previously served on Capitol Hill as an intern for Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01).
Alexander now aims to bring his technical training to the technology policy domain. He is particularly interested in export controls, U.S.–China strategic competition, AI governance, critical infrastructure resilience, and the broader national security implications of emerging technologies. He believes that policy grounded in technical understanding can strengthen national resilience, reinforce institutional trust, and guide emerging technologies toward responsible use.
