Tina Bahadori

The National Academies

Tina Bahadori is executive director for the National Academies’ Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences. Bahadori came to the Academies from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Research and Development, where for eight years she designed and led several transdisciplinary research and risk assessment programs. Her positions at EPA included serving as national program director for human health risk assessment, as center director of the National Center for Environmental Assessment, and as national program director for chemical safety for sustainability. During her time at EPA, Bahadori built extensive collaborations across the landscape of community, national, and international partners from multiple sectors, and was committed to developing innovative approaches that weave together systems-based research and policy solutions. Before joining EPA, her career was founded on nearly two decades of research and science enterprises in the private sector, where she worked on converging and diverging issues related to energy, environment, technology, and chemical management.

Bahadori holds a doctorate in environmental science and engineering from the Harvard School of Public Health. From MIT, she holds a Master of Science in Chemical Engineering and Technology and Policy, as well as Bachelor of Science degrees in chemical engineering and in humanities. She served as the president of the International Society of Exposure Science and is an associate editor of the Journal of Exposure Science and Environmental Epidemiology.

Jason Matheny

Georgetown University

Jason Matheny is founding director of the Center on Security and Emerging Technology (CSET) at Georgetown University. Previously he was Assistant Director of National Intelligence, and Director of IARPA, responsible for developing breakthrough technologies for the U.S. intelligence community. Before IARPA, he worked at Oxford University, the World Bank, the Applied Physics Laboratory, the Center for Biosecurity, and Princeton University, and was the co-founder of two biotechnology companies. He is a member of the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence, the National Academies’ Intelligence Community Studies Board, and the AAAS Committee on Science, Engineering and Public Policy. He serves on the boards of Noblis and the Nuclear Threat Initiative, and serves on technical working groups for the U.S. Department of Energy, the Center for a New American Security, and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

Matheny has served on various White House committees related to artificial intelligence, biosecurity, high-performance computing, and quantum information science. He co-led the National AI R&D Strategic Plan released by the White House in 2016 and was a member of the White House Select Committee on AI, created in 2018.

Matheny holds a Ph.D. in applied economics from Johns Hopkins University, an M.P.H. from Johns Hopkins University, an M.B.A. from Duke University and a B.A. from the University of Chicago.

Tom Mitchell

Carnegie Mellon University

Tom Mitchell is the E. Fredkin University Professor at Carnegie Mellon University, where he founded the world's first Machine Learning Department. Mitchell's research lies in machine learning, artificial intelligence, and cognitive neuroscience. His current research includes developing machine learning approaches to natural language understanding by computers, as well as brain imaging studies of natural language understanding by humans.

Mitchell is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering, the American Association of Arts and Sciences, and is Past President of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence.

In 2015 Mitchell was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Laws Degree from Dalhousie University for his contributions to machine learning and cognitive neuroscience, and in 2017 he received the 10-Year Outstanding Research Contributions Award from the Brain Informatics Conference for his research studying language processing in the human brain.

Debrae Kennedy-Mayo

Georgia Institute of Technology

DeBrae Kennedy-Mayo is a research faculty member at the Scheller College of Business at the Georgia Institute of Technology. She works as part of a small team who research, write, and teach on legal and policy issues concerning privacy and cybersecurity. Peter Swire and Kennedy- Mayo are the co-authors of the forthcoming 2020 edition of U.S. Private Sector Privacy: Law And Practice For Information Privacy Professionals – the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) book that is used by professionals who are preparing for the IAPP certification exam on U.S. private-sector privacy and that now serves as the textbook for Georgia Tech’s online privacy class entitled Privacy for Professionals.

With her co-authors, Kennedy-Mayo has written on cross-border issues focusing on the U.S., Europe, and India. Prior to her work at Georgia Tech, Kennedy-Mayo was employed as both an Assistant Attorney General for the State of Georgia and an Assistant District Attorney. Prior to that, Kennedy-Mayo clerked for the Honorable William Howard, Sr.
