Sidney Zoll Fulford has been awarded a Fulbright fellowship to pursue a master’s degree in cyber politics and government at Tel Aviv University. She earned her bachelor’s degree from Indiana University Bloomington, where she double majored in political science and history. She went on to complete her first master’s in international affairs at Johns Hopkins University, studying at the School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) campus in Bologna, Italy.

Before receiving her Fulbright grant, Sidney focused on global security and diplomatic studies through her work at SAIS. Her academic and professional journey has been shaped by a deep interest in international cooperation, emerging technologies, and the evolving dynamics of global power. Her current research explores defense strategy and regional geopolitics, with a particular focus on the relationships between Israel and its neighboring countries. Looking ahead, she intends to concentrate on the intersection of cybersecurity and technological innovation between Israel and the United States.
