Nadya Bliss
[edit]About
[edit]Dr. Nadya T. Bliss is a computer scientist, national security science and technology expert, and organizational leader. She is the executive and founding director of the Global Security Initiative (GSI).[1], a pan-university organization that advances transformational capabilities in science and technology to meet defense, security and intelligence mission needs at Arizona State University. Bliss holds a professor of practice appointment (and is a member of Graduate Faculty) in the ASU School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence, and is a Senior Global Futures Scientist in the Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory.
Dr. Bliss has more than 90 publications to her credit, holds two[2] patents[3], and speaks publicly around topics related to technology development, national security, and interdisciplinary research. She has appeared on PBS[4] and NPR, and in the Christian Science Monitor, Axios, and CyberScoop[5].
Effective 2022, Bliss was appointed chair of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency Information Science and Technology study group (DARPA ISAT), and vice-chair of the Computing Community Consortium[6]. She also serves on the National Academies’ Cyber Resilience Forum[7], the National Academies’ Climate Security Roundtable[8] and the National Academies’ ad-hoc committee examining defense-related STEM activities at minority institutions[9]. Bliss is also member of the National Academies’ Committee on Transformative Science and Technology for the Department of Defense[10] and the National Academies’ Panel on Assessment of the Network, Cyber, and Computational Sciences at the Army Research Laboratory (ARL)[11]
Career
[edit]Dr. Bliss received bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Computer Science from Cornell University, and earned her doctorate in Applied Mathematics for the Life and Social Sciences (Complex Adaptive Systems Science) from Arizona State University.
Bliss began her career at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, spending a decade in various positions and most recently as the founding Group Leader of the Computing and Analytics Group. In that role, she oversaw all of the laboratory’s high-performance computing, along with a portfolio of programs focused on advanced analytics and computer architectures for Department of Defense and Intelligence Community mission needs.
In 2012, Bliss joined Arizona State University where she held various positions, including as technical director for both the Security and Defense Systems Initiative (SDSI) and ASU Research Enterprise (ASURE), and as assistant vice president of research strategy in Knowledge Enterprise. In 2015, she founded the Global Security Initiative, ASU’s primary interface with the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Intelligence Community. Bliss became executive director of GSI in 2019.
Honors and Awards
[edit]In 2010, she received the inaugural MIT Lincoln Laboratory Early Career Technical Achievement award for work in parallel computing, computer architectures, and graph processing algorithms and her leadership in anomaly detection in graph-based data.[12]
She is also the recipient of the R&D100 award for her work on PVTOL: Parallel Vector Tile Optimizing Library.[13]
