Event Description Leonard J. Buckley will present "Science and National Security" on Wednesday, November 1st at 11:00 AM in Hill Conference Room, LeBow Engineering, 240 (31st & Market Streets).
Abstract: Science impacts everything in life including the security of our nation. There are many opportunities where scientific analysis can provide an un-biased perspective for national security. These perspectives are often used by government sponsors in their decision-making processes. Basic science provides the ground truth for tomorrow’s technology.
This seminar will present a brief description of IDA and some examples of recent scientific assessments that were performed for DoD. Examples of these areas will include nuclear science, understanding the limits of sensor systems, performance and effectiveness of non-lethal weapons, and blast physics. In addition some thoughts on future areas of high interest to the national security community such as genome engineering, ubiquitous sensing, and the topic of the bio-electronic interface as it impacts the warfighter will be briefly addressed. |
