Dr. Richard T. Kouzes working in the areas of neutrino science, homeland security, non-proliferation, and computational applications. As former Chief Scientist for the Computer and Information Sciences Directorate he was responsible for creating focus and a global view of the future scientific directions of computation at PNNL. 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 Principal Investigator and Technical Lead for the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Radiation Portal Monitor Project. He has worked on issues related to the implementation of bilateral and trilateral programs, and was Principal Investigator for the DTRA Transparency Program in the authentication of monitoring systems. He was the director of the Radiation Detection and Analysis Laboratory for PNNL as part of the Homeland Security Initiative. His research interests are in the fields of neutrino physics (MAJORANA), in nuclear physics for disarmament verification, and computing for the enabling of scientific research. He is an adjunct Professor of Physics at Washington State University.
