I'm the the Chief Science and Technology Officer for PNNL’s National Security Directorate, where I guide organizational vision and strategy for the national security mission. My office is responsible for establishing long-term R&D strategy across our $700M+ national security portfolio including AI and advanced computing, nonproliferation and nuclear science, chem/bio defense, and systems engineering and deployment. We translate geopolitical and technological trends, market needs, and internal innovations into actionable strategies to deliver mission impact for the national security community. My office also develops strategic institutional partnerships with leading universities, research institutes, and private companies to accelerate development and delivery of novel capabilities for national needs in science, energy, and security.Prior to this role, I was was the Division Director for Computing and Analytics at PNNL where I grew an R&D capability in advanced computing, data analytics, cyber security, and software engineering to nearly 550 staff and $130M+ of annual business volume. I've also led research and development programs that resulted in new information analysis methods in applications across threat discovery, energy reliability, disaster response, and cyber security. I've supported the deployment of these capabilities to operational use in government and industry, and worked with teams to imagine the future of information work and bring that vision to fruition. I'm a passionate advocate for data-driven decision making and people analytics. I love looking for new ways to use the advanced analytics we create for our customers -- massive graph analytics, deep learning, discovering novel signatures for complex phenomena -- to improve organizational collaboration, innovation, and technical performance.
