NSI New Hires
Since the last newsletter, the Center for National Security Initiatives (NSI) has strengthened its team with the addition of Mark Berg, Kyle Harlow, Ravi Starzl, and Chad Tossell. These hires reflect NSI’s commitment to bolstering national security research through expertise in technology, engineering, and defense strategies.
Mark Berg joins NSI with a robust background in aerospace engineering, bringing valuable insights from his work on satellite systems and space-based technology. His experience is expected to enhance NSI’s projects in space defense and advanced communications, areas that are increasingly critical in the realm of national security.
Kyle Harlow, another new addition, has a focus in cybersecurity and systems engineering, which aligns with NSI’s priorities in data security and resilience for defense technology. Harlow’s expertise will contribute to secure communications and threat mitigation projects at NSI.
Ravi Starzl, with a background in artificial intelligence and machine learning, brings a cutting-edge skill set to NSI’s research portfolio. His work will support the development of AI-driven solutions for situational awareness and decision-making systems critical to defense operations.
Chad Tossell, specializing in human-computer interaction, will focus on the interface between operators and complex defense systems, enhancing usability and operational efficiency. His insights will be instrumental in ensuring that NSI’s tools are user-friendly for defense personnel.
Together, these hires position NSI to advance its mission of leveraging CU Boulder’s research strengths in service of national security objectives.
