SUMMARY:S&T Ecosystem 2.0. | Reggie Brothers\, The Chertoff Group
DESCRIPTION:On behalf of the Office of the Vice President for Research at the University of Texas at San Antonio\, you are invited to attend an upcoming lecture by Dr. Reggie Brothers\, Principal at The Chertoff Group and former Under Secretary for Science and Technology at the Department of Homeland Security. Dr Brothers will be discussing the rapidly changing climate of the science and technology industry and different models and strategies to help maximize your role in advancing S&T ECOSYSTEM 2.0. \nReggie Brothers\, PhDEE and CSPrincipal at The Chertoff GroupPrevious Government Experience:\n– Under Secretary for Science and Technology\, DHS (2014–2017)\n– Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research\, DoD (2011–2014)\n– Program Manager\, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (2002–2007) \nAt DHS\, Dr. Brothers was responsible for a science and technology portfolio that includes basic and applied research\, development\, demonstration\, testing\, and evaluation with the purpose of helping DHS operational elements and the Nation’s first responders achieve their missions in the most effective\, most efficient\, and safest manner possible. At DoD\, he was responsible for policy and oversight of the Department’s science and technology programs from basic research through advanced technology development. Dr. Brothers was also responsible for the Department’s laboratories and\, as architect of the long-term strategic direction of the Department’s science and technology programs\, oversaw scientific advancements necessary for the continued technological superiority of U.S. Armed Forces. \nAt DARPA\, Dr. Brothers developed programs across a variety of technical disciplines including wireless and optical communications\, precision navigation and timing\, RADAR and LADAR. Dr. Brothers was also a Technical Director at BAE Systems\, a Group Leader at the Charles Stark Draper Laboratory\, Assistant Group Leader at MIT Lincoln Laboratory\, and Principal Architect at a successful wireless start-up company. \nAt Chertoff Group\, Dr. Brothers will bring to bear his extensive experience across the Science and Technology Ecosystem (Government\, Industry\, Non-Profits\, National Laboratories and Academia). Dr. Brothers is a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (PhDEE and CS)\, Southern Methodist University (MSEE) and Tufts University (BSEE).Register for this event

SUMMARY:Pacific Northwest National Laboratory at UTSA
DESCRIPTION:Operated by the Battelle Memorial Institute since 1965\, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is one of the United States of Department of Energy national laboratories\, managed by the DOE Office of Science. The main campus of the laboratory is located in Richland\, Washington. \nWe are pleased to welcome PNNL researchers to UTSA for the following guest lectures. \n\nSAMUEL CLEMENTS | 10:00am – 10:45am\nBlended Attacks: Integrating Cyber and Physical Assessments\nBoth physical and cyber security domains offer solutions for the discovery of vulnerabilities\, but neither method fully represents the true potential security risk to a site\, facility\, or asset nor comprehensively assesses the overall security posture. This project evaluated physical and cyber vulnerability analysis (VA) techniques and provided a strategic approach to integrating the interdependent relationships of each into a single VA capability\, enabling increased identification and assessment of the true overall risk during a vulnerability assessment. \nWILL HUTTON | 10:45am – 11:30am\nTeaching a Computer to Fight Itself (Implementing an ORGE AI in Python)\nOGRE is an asymmetric board game created in 1977 simulating a futuristic fighting force of infantry and armor against a single\, massive\, artificially intelligent cyber tank. Figuring out a winning strategy was difficult\, so I taught my computer how to play the game using Python and genetic algorithms\, so my program could learn how to play the game better. \nBiographies: \nSAM CLEMENTS\, upon graduating from Carnegie Mellon University’s Masters of Information Security\, Policy\, and Management program\, recognized the need to expand cyber security research beyond information technology systems to the control systems that run our nation’s critical infrastructure. As a recipient of the Scholarship for Service program\, he looked across the federal government and federally funded research and development centers to find where this research was occurring and in 2008 began working as a Cyber Security Researcher at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. PNNL’s strong ties to the US electrical grid made it a natural fit. Sam’s research has covered technical evaluations of wireless systems for use in critical infrastructure systems\, secure network architectures\, and blending physical and cyber security assessment processes for which he was awarded a patent. \nWILLIAM HUTTON spent four years active duty with the United States Army as a military intelligence and electronic warfare specialist. He received his bachelor of arts in philosophy and computer science from Central Washington University in 1999. William has over 20 years of software development experience\, spent five years working at the Pacific Northwest’s only operating nuclear reactor\, and two years at the Hanford site before coming to the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. While at PNNL\, William has\nfocused on protecting critical infrastructure\, cyber and physical security\, cryptography\, and resiliency. He is currently a PhD candidate at Washington\nState University. \nDownload Flyer \nSave \nSave \nRegister for this event
