Abstract

Donna Gregg leads the Cyber effort at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab, and Dickie George '70 serves as one of her advisors. Together they will tell students about the wide variety of opportunities for research at the lab. Donna will discuss the broad missions that the lab takes on in support of the US government and will discuss permanent positions the Lab is seeking to fill (the Lab hopes to hire on the order of 400 technical people this year) and will discuss intern opportunities as well. Dickie will talk about life as a member of the Intelligence Community, the threat/adversary model, and will give some real life examples of espionage in the cold war.
