Benn Tannenbaum is the Associate Program Director at the Center for Science, Technology and Security Policy. Dr. Tannenbaum works on a variety of projects for CSTSP, including drafting policy briefs, tracking legislation, serving as liaison with MacArthur-funded centers and the security policy community, organizing workshops and other meetings, attending Congressional hearings and conducting topical research. He testified before the House Homeland Security Committee on radiation portal monitors. Tannenbaum has served on the American Physical Society's Panel on Public Affairs and is currently a member of the Executive Committee of APS's Forum on Physics and Society.

Dr. Tannenbaum is an adjunct assistant professor in the Department of Physics and an adjunct lecturer in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at Georgetown University where he lectures on science lobbying and work with the campus chapter of The Triple Helix.

Prior to joining AAAS, Dr. Tannenbaum worked as a Senior Research Analyst for the Federation of American Scientists. Dr. Tannenbaum worked extensively on the FAS paper Flying Blind; this paper explores ways to increase the quality and consistency of science advising to the federal government.

Before joining FAS, Dr. Tannenbaum served as the 2002-2003 American Physical Society Congressional Science Fellow. During his Fellowship, Dr. Tannenbaum worked for Representative Edward J. Markey (D-MA) on nonproliferation issues.

Before his Fellowship, Dr. Tannenbaum worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of California, Los Angeles. At UCLA, he was involved in the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment at CERN, in Geneva, Switzerland, and the Collider Detector Facility at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory outside Chicago, Illinois. He received his Ph.D. in particle physics from the University of New Mexico in 1997. His dissertation involved a search for evidence of supersymmetry. None was found.
