I am professor of Integrated Science and Technology at James Madison University. I
directed the start-up and now serve as Technical Director of the JMU's Institute for
Infrastructure and Information Assurance (IIIA). Much of my career was spent at the
Defense Nuclear Agency (DNA) and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) developing
protection strategies and guidelines for strategic systems. I led DNA's EMP program
during 1987-94 and recently served as a member of the Congressional EMP Commission Staff.
A primary research interest stems from my tenure as the director of the Springfield
Research Facility, a national center for critical system vulnerability assessment. I am
applying lessons-learned from my DoD experience to critical civilian infrastructure and
community resilience. In addition to teaching, I consult in the areas of infrastructure
assurance, high power electromagnetics, nuclear and directed energy weapon effects, and
risk assessment. I presently serve on the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA)
Homeland Security Executive Board and the Virginia Alliance for Secure Computing and
Networking.
