Visiting Research Fellow at National Defense University's Center for Technology and National Security Policy (CTNSP). CTNSP investigates the implications of technological innovation on U.S. national security policy and military plans. The Center works closely with the science and technology community and takes on projects that bridge the gap between technology and policy. Its vision is to enable national security decision-makers and their staffs to understand emerging impacts of technology and integrate them effectively into policies.CTNSP conducts research and analysis on emerging trends in science and technology, strategic forecasting, and program assessment. The Center divides these efforts into five distinct lines of operation: Advanced Learning Initiatives, Civil Military Affairs Integration (CMAI), Emerging Challenges, Life Sciences, Science & Technology. In support of its mission, the Center delivers technical studies, program reviews, senior workshops, electronic data products, inter-agency exercises, expert consultation, and a variety of outreach activities.
