I have 15 years of experience, and specialize in the field of terrorism with specific knowledge in the areas of transportation, energy related security and nucelar waste. I have published on such topics as nuclear/radiological terrorism, media influence on terrorism and transportation security. I have testified on nuclear waste transportation, Department of Energy policies and energy security. The focus on Yucca Mountain and its potential impacts on local law enforcement, emergency management and critical infrastructure protection is a unique area of expertise.
