2016 LBJ DC Fellow
Aaron Milner received his Master of Global Policy Studies at the LBJ School. His policy research focuses on the intersection of European foreign affairs and innovative smart city international development. As an undergraduate at The University of Texas at Austin, he majored in international relations and global studies with minors in French, business and European studies, with a specific focus in international security. Aaron studied abroad in Grenoble, France, and completed a Capstone research paper theorizing that an immigration crisis could be more harmful to the success of the European Union than a financial crisis. He was part of the on-campus research organization Innovations for Peace and Development (IPD) where he mapped and analyzed the diffusion of aid in developing countries as a member of the Open Aid & Health team. Prior to graduate school, Aaron was a management consultant in financial services with KPMG in Dallas for two years and interned on Capitol Hill in Washington.
He undertook his 2016 Policy Apprenticeship at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Project on Prosperity and Development.
