Speakers Dr. Steve Fetter is assistant director at-large in the Office of Science and Technology Policy in the Executive Office of the President. He is on leave from the University of Maryland School of Public Policy, where he has been a professor since 1988 and served as dean from 2005-2009. Fetter is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, a fellow of the American Physical Society, and a recipient of the APS Joseph A. Burton Forum Award. Before joining OSTP, he was president of the Association of Professional Schools of International Affairs and a member of the Director of National Intelligence's Intelligence Science Board and the Department of Energy's Nuclear Energy Research Advisory Committee; the board of directors of the Arms Control Association; and the board of editors of Science and Global Security and Science Progress. He served as vice chairman of the Federation of American Scientists and received its Hans Bethe 'Science in the Public Service' award. He has served on several committees of the National Academy of Sciences, including the Committee on International Security and Arms Control and committees to assess the effects of nuclear earth-penetrating warheads, the internationalization of the nuclear fuel cycle, and options for conventional prompt global strike. In 1993-94 Fetter served as special assistant to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Policy and received the Secretary of Defense Medal for Outstanding Public Service. He has worked in the State Department as an American Institute of Physics fellow and as a Council on Foreign Relations international affairs fellow. He has been a visiting fellow at Stanford’s Center for International Security and Cooperation, Harvard’s Center for Science and International Affairs, MIT’s Plasma Fusion Center, and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. He also served as associate director of the Joint Global Change Research Institute, and has been a consultant to several U.S. government agencies. He received a Ph.D. in energy and resources from the University of California, Berkeley, and a S.B. in physics from MIT. Mr. Ronald Cooper is the detector team leader at Oak Ridge National Laboratory for the High Flux Isotope Reactor and Spallation Neutron Source neutron scattering facilities. He has held this position for 10 years, and during this period his team developed three world class detector systems and installed over 3,000 detectors in neutron scattering instruments. Approximately 75% of these instruments use Helium-3 based detectors. After graduating from the University of California, Riverside in 1974, Mr. Cooper developed detectors for high energy physics at Caltech. In 1983 he transferred to the University of Utah to do ultra high energy cosmic ray research and develop the high resolution Fly’s Eye. From 1991 to 2000 he worked on ultra high bandwidth diagnostics for weapons tests and was also the principal investigator on MCMPX benchmark experiments. He has detected particles with kinetic energies ranging from 0.1 meV to over 10 EeV. Dr. Richard T. Kouzes is a Laboratory Fellow at the Department of Energy's (DOE's) Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) working in the areas of neutrino science, homeland security, non-proliferation, and computational applications. His work on homeland security has been for the development and deployment of radioactive material interdiction equipment at U.S. borders, and for three years he was the Principle Investigator and Technical Lead for the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Radiation Portal Monitor Project. His other research interests are in the fields of neutrino physics, in nuclear physics for disarmament verification, and computing for the enabling of scientific research. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). He is an adjunct Professor of Physics at Washington State University. Dr. Kouzes earned his Ph.D. in physics from Princeton University in 1974. He is the author of over 380 papers. Brad Roscoe is a Scientific Advisor and Nuclear Program Manager at Schlumberger-Doll Research in Cambridge, MA. Brad has been with Schlumberger for 29 years where he has worked on detector, source, and measurement technologies for downhole applications. Most of his efforts have revolved around the use and interpretation of pulsed-neutron measurements for the petrophysical evaluation of oil and gas reservoirs. He has 19 patents to his name. After obtaining his B.S. in Electrical Engineering and M.S. in Nuclear Science and Engineering, both from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Brad went to work at the Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory. He followed this up by returning to school and completing a Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering from the University of Illinois in 1981. Brad then took a job with Schlumberger at their Engineering Center in Houston, TX; followed by going to their Research Center in Ridgefield, CT, and is currently at their Research Center in Cambridge, MA. Brad is currently serving as the Secretary on the Radiation Instrumentation and Steering Committee of the IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society. He is also a member of the American Physical Society, Society of Petrophysicists and Well Log Analysts, and the Society of Petroleum Engineers.  Copyright © 2011
