KENNETH W. NEVES
*
R&D and Cybersecurity
management and strategy, to include computational mathematics R&D
management - advisory capacity preferred
* Purpose: scope-out the major strategic issues in both applied mathematics and cybersecurity. Broadly cybersecurity today in industry and government is vintage 2005, missing the key elements of a vibrant proactive cyber defense. *
Related areas include computer
architecture, mathematical optimization of supercomputer class applications,
intelligent agents, data mining, and learning
systems

Realities of
being a CIO in the DOE,
FACTOIDS:
During Dr. Neves
long tenure as CIO and Advisor at LLNL: the Tri-Labs
of NNSA had 13 CIOs, DOE HQ had 4 CIOs, and NNSA HQ had 4 CIOs!
1. Algorithm Science 2. High
performance computing 3. R&D in product
visualization, intelligent agents, intelligent document technology, natural
language processing 4. CIO: IT and Cyber Security Infrastructure, architecture,
and development |
Professional Profile
* PhD in Applied Mathematics, (Numerical Analysis) with accomplished research record * Entire
career has been associated with research in computing, IT and cyber security @BOEING * Director of Computer Science Research at Boeing for over a decade with external customers in private industry, DARPA, NSF, DOE, AFOSR, and NRL * Achieved the highest technical rank when elected as the 12th Senior Technical Fellow of the Boeing Company (and first in Computation). * Advisor to Boeing CIO on performance and scalability of enterprise management applications * The
Boeing Computer Science Department under Dr. Neves conducted research
in: Product visualization, intelligent
document technology, intelligent agent systems, algorithm and computational
science, mathematical software libraries, high performance and parallel
computing (including the 2nd Gordon Bell Award winning team) @LLNL * Established the first full-time CIO position at LLNL, and held the position for over 7 years, and exported the program design to LANL * The first Chief IT and Cyber Advisor to both LANL and LLNL * Assigned (under an IPA) to NNSA HQ (2012-2015) conducting a HQ funded program to evaluate cyber security practices and build a DOE vision for the future of cybersecurity throughout the DOE. The study included:
Education,
Honors, and Certifications
* Graduated with Great Distinction, Mathematics from San Jose State University * MA and PhD in Mathematics (1974), Arizona State University in Tempe (held a National Science Foundation Fellowship for 4 years) IT Infrastructure and
R&D Contract Experience
* Accomplished CIO (serving over 7 years at LLNL) * Some LLNL accomplishments include: Consolidated data center, deployed virtualization, established the Oracle Project Accounting effort implemented by the CFO support team, centralized desktop management and patching, defended APT attacks and was first to implement advanced egress controls in DOE, determined adversary suppression, zoned network, established the CIO concept of operations and program approach, retired many legacy systems * Some
Boeing Accomplishments: Program Manager and Proposal Manager for several
industrial research contracts for Fujitsu, Hitachi, NASA, NEC, Chevron,
Mobil, and more. Defined and created a
Consortium of Boeing and 10 Universities to pursue and eventually win the NSF
contract to build the NW Internet in the early 90s. Proposal was endorsed by 5 US Senators, 10
university presidents, and two educational agencies; established a 15 year research collaboration between Boeing and IBM
Research (led to joint patents, and new products) Past Areas of Research and
Management Interests
* High performance computing, hardware architecture, numerical linear algebra, numerical solution of differential equations, large-scale systems performance and scaleability, "grid aware" application frameworks, intrusion detection and intelligent agent technologies. * Strategic alignment of IT Infrastructure, governance of IT services, cyber security defense management and architecture * One book, over 25 refereed publications, and numerous keynote presentations, complete list in publication vitae, link at bottom of page, (includes selected actual papers and presentations,) Selected Professional
Activities
* Board of Director of the NW Academic Computing Consortium * Board of Director of the Cray User Group * Advisory Boards: LLNL, NASA Langley, NASA Ames, NIST * Society
