In his capacity at OE, Dr. Dupuy provides qualitative and quantitative analyses of operational energy risks to mission assurance. Other areas of interest include geo-political aspects of energy security within the Trans-Atlantic Alliance, particularly the broader Black Sea region.
Retired from the United States Army after 25 years of both active and reserve component service, Dr. Dupuy’s last major assignment was in Afghanistan, where he earned the Bronze Star and the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medals.
In 2016, Dr. Dupuy completed a Ph.D. in Planning, Governance and Globalization at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech). His dissertation title is: “Changing Patterns of Regionalism and Security in the Wider Black Sea Area: The Transformative Impact of Energy.” He is an assistant adjunct professor of political science at VA Tech, teaching graduate-level energy geo-politics.edit

In today's world the centralities of cyber and energy are incontrovertible. This is true across practically every domain of human activity, which includes warfare, economics, and politics. This is certainly the case in the broader military establishment, which is fully dependent on both the cyber and energy infrastructures in the conduct of global operations. Nowhere is this more evident than in the confluence of the virtual and physical domains found in the cyber-operational energy space. What is less recognized are the critical linkages that exist between cyber and operational energy, the energy needed to power the warfighter and ensure mission success.
Connecting overseas U.S. military bases to host nation power grids would lower the cost of energy and reduce fuel usage, without losing reliability.
