Lucas Laursen

I am the technology policy editor at IEEE Spectrum Magazine, where I cover how emerging technologies are changing the balance of power between companies, governments, and individuals.

Before this, I was a freelance journalist for nearly two decades, writing for magazines such as Technology Review, the Financial Times, and Scientific American. I took short breaks to intern at Nature and play archaeologist. Before that I studied astrophysics at Harvard and spent a few summers writing for the Let’s Go travel guidebooks.

I have lived in and reported from the UK, Switzerland, Mexico, Spain, and now the U.S.
