  What Counterterrorism Research Can Tell Us About the Future of Our Field

  One path forward to establishing applied psychologists as a unique, robust, and future-oriented domain of study is expanding our typical view of organizations that we consider as central to what we study and support. I draw on my more traditional path as a faculty member in a top-ranked I-O Psychology program to a national research center where I apply knowledge of our field to the disruption of extremist organizations as well as to support the homeland security workforce.

His work focuses on leadership and innovation, considering the malign and benevolent application of each. He has published more than 110 peer reviewed journal articles, books, and book chapters. He has received more than 11 million dollars in funding from the National Science Foundation, the Department of Homeland Security, Office of Naval Research, and the UK Home Office.
