Since October 2018 employed by the US Federal Government, National Institute of Standards and Technologies (NIST), Information Technology Laboratory (ITL).
We are performing data modeling in support of data and document interchange and system interoperability in the domain of networked system security, security assessment and planning. The problem space intersects with engineering; language and interface design; game theory; mathematics; law, policy and governance theory; history; social and international relations; and rhetoric. Our effort is focused on promoting and developing standards and open protocols for robust and trusted data exchange across system and platform boundaries, for use and interpretation by both machines and people.
