DTRA and Future Directions for Nuclear Detection R&D
Responding to today’s nuclear threat environment requires a commitment to developing technologies that enable effective deterrence, detection, survivability, and dominance in the nuclear domain. This presentation provides an overview of the evolving mission of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) in nuclear technology research and development. The current nuclear threat environment and DTRA’s resulting top…
Machine-Learning Techniques to Protect Critical Infrastructure From Cybersecurity Incidents or Equipment Incidents
Join HDIAC, CSIAC and DSIAC for a live webinar presentation on “Machine-Learning Techniques to Protect Critical Infrastructure From Cybersecurity Incidents or Equipment Incidents.” Securing our critical infrastructure is vital to national security. This presentation demonstrates techniques that can be used to detect cyberattacks or equipment failures. A typical industrial control system is used as an…

Predicting the Immediate Civilian Reaction to a Nuclear WMD Event
This webinar examines the threat posed to a mega-city by a nuclear Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD) event. Presented by Dr. William G. Kennedy, Associate Professor in the Center for Social Complexity and Department of Computational & Data Sciences at George Mason University, the webinar presents a 1:1 agent-based model of the population of New…
TRUTH or LIE: Spoken Features of Trusted and Mistrusted Speech
Deception detection is a longstanding research goal of considerable interest to the military, law enforcement, corporate security, social services, and mental health workers. However, both humans and polygraphs are very poor at this task. In this webinar, we describe classifiers we have developed to detect deception automatically from speech which are significantly better than humans.…
Predicting Antibiotic Resistance – Moving from Reaction to Preemption of Emerging Pathogen Threats
This webinar addresses the threat posed by rising levels of antibiotic resistance across the globe, and explores means of predicting pathogenic resistance in order to limit or preempt its effects. Presented by Dr. Yousif Shamoo, Vice Provost for Research and Professor of Biosciences at Rice University, the webinar examines an approach that combines biophysics, genomics,…
Investigating Ultrastructural Mechanisms of TBI (using x-ray diffraction)
With even a mild or moderate Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), the warfighter may suffer cognitive and/or behavioral impairments. Although symptoms present clinically, the type of biological structural damage that occurs from TBI may be “invisible” to commonly-used medical and scientific visualization techniques. In this webinar, researchers from the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command’s Army…
Battlefield Pain Management
This webinar examines current and emerging medical capabilities for managing warfighter pain on the battlefield. Presented by Dr. Kyle E. Giesler, a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California, Berkeley and HDIAC SME, this webinar discusses non-opioid means of managing moderate to severe acute pain in an austere environment. Specific treatments discussed include Morphine, Fentanyl,…
