About Us

We live in a complex, dynamic world. Geopolitical tensions lead to trade restrictions and disrupted value chains. Intellectual property theft and export diversion not only undermine a company's financial standing and reputation, but also exacerbate instability and prolong the very conflicts leading to these restrictions. 

 

Artemis Research arms companies with vital information to address these challenges. We offer research and risk analysis services at the confluence of science, trade, and global security. We specialize in recognizing illicit activity within a sea of information, leveraging disparate data sets and innovative search methodologies to uncover previously unidentified threats to your business. Finally, we understand the nuances of geopolitical trends affecting trade, and are fluent in the technical language of the clients we serve.

Windauer, offers over 15 years of experience providing expert guidance to private-sector and government entities on export compliance and intellectual property theft issues, promoting more effective due diligence, supply chain protection, and personnel reliability programs.

Additionally, she earned a bachelor's degree in biophysical chemistry from Dartmouth College and a master's degree in biotechnology from Johns Hopkins University, and can thus account for the unique needs of the tech industry within the world of international trade.
