How did you become interested in this area?
My family has been directly impacted by terrorism here in the United States. This pushed me into understanding the how and why of these type of attacks. I was introduced to this threat area at a homeland security conference in DC, which lead to attending an IAEA event at Sandia. I was shocked to learn about the threats, problems, and demographic issues in this space and wanted to get involved.
