![]() |
Tom Palmatier leads the cyber technical work force of roughly 1000 scientists at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab, and Dickie George serves on his senior staff. Together they will tell students about the wide variety of opportunities for research at the lab. Tom will discuss a history of the Lab and the broad missions that the lab takes on in support of the US government. 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. Together they 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.
Richard M. (Dickie) George joined the National Security Agency in 1970 as a mathematician, and remained at NSA until his retirement in 2011. While at NSA, he wrote more than 125 technical papers on cryptomathematical subjects, and served in a number of positions: analyst, and technical director at the division, office, group, and directorate level. He served as the Technical Director of the Information Assurance Directorate for eight years until his retirement. Mr. George remains active in the security arena; he is currently the Senior Advisor for Cyber Security at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory where he works on a number of projects in support of the U.S. Government. He is also the APL representative to the I3P, a consortium of universities, national labs, and non-profit institutions dedicated to strengthening the cyber infrastructure of the United States.
