I am a former IBM Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, Internet2 Senior Vice President and Chief Innovation Officer, and aerospace engineer at NASA Jet Propulsion Lab and Grumman Aerospace Corporation. From the NHERI perspective, I <font face="arial, sans-serif">have begun working with NHERI leaders such as Lori Peek to consider how we can bring researchers from COVID and pandemic domains into the fold with the NHERI researchers, to enable collaborative research for the convergent </font>forces<font face="arial, sans-serif"> of pandemics and natural hazards and disasters together. Being part of the User Forum would allow us to enable more of this type of collaboration. I would also be able to help with transition of research to practice (TTP), as I led TTP efforts for cybersecurity research on multiple NSF awards, and led that work at IBM as VP of corporate Strategy as documented in a Harvard Case Study on Emerging Business Opportunities at IBM.
