About
I am an associate research scientist and director of the Unconventional & Asymmetric Threats Division of START at the University of Maryland. I develop, lead, and manage large interdisciplinary research projects spanning across a broad range of national and homeland security challenges. My research projects have been sponsored by offices and agencies such as the OUSD (I&S), DARPA, DTRA, NSA, DOD Basic Research Office, DHS CWMD Office, and TSA. My research area includes adversary decision modeling; operations in the information environment; insider risk management and Mitigation; irregular warfare; countering weapons of mass destruction; and Northeast Asia regional security. Prior to joining START, I served as the Senior Research Associate and Section Chief at the National Center for Security & Preparedness (NCSP) at University at Albany (SUNY), a strategic partner with the New York State Division of Homeland Security & Emergency Services (DHSES). My professional experience also includes a career as a U.S. Army Officer for over 15 years. I hold a Ph.D. in political science from the University at Albany (SUNY) and am fluent in Korean, Japanese, and Mandarin Chinese.
