About Noemie

Noémie Bouhana is Professor of Crime Science and Counter Extremism at University College London, where she co-leads the Counter-Terrorism Research Group. Her work is concerned with the processes involved in the emergence of extremist social ecologies in complex social systems and the mechanisms which underpin individual vulnerability to extremism. She has directed the €2.9M EU FP7 PRIME project, an international consortium of six European universities working on the prevention and mitigation of lone actor radicalisation and attack behaviour, and the $1M project "The Social Ecology of Radicalisation", sponsored by the US DoD Minerva Initiative. Most recently, she has been funded by the Centre for Research and Evidence on Security Threats (CREST) to develop an environmental extremism risk analysis framework for use by Prevent practitioners. Other work has been supported by DStl, OSCT, the MoD Counter-Terrorism Science and Technology Centre, EPSRC, and the US National Institute of Justice.
