國（境）外文教專家2017年度系列講座二十四：華盛頓大學(xué)Jeff Simon與Zhongxiang Zhao教授系列講座

一、專家簡歷

Jeffrey Simmen

 After receiving his Ph.D. in applied mathematics from Caltech in 1984, Dr. Simmen worked for the following five years at the Center for Naval Analyses (CNA) where he was involved in operations research and tactical development for Navy operations, specializing in the areas of search theory and underwater acoustics. In June 2003, Dr. Simmen became the seventh Director of the Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) at the University of Washington, joining APL in time to celebrate its 60th year as a premier center for research, development, and advanced education in science and engineering. At APL, he has focused on establishing new science and technology initiatives and sponsors to broaden the Laboratory’s research portfolio, building up Laboratory infrastructure, and enhancing the integration, collaboration and recruitment of Laboratory personnel – all aimed at increasing APL productivity, measured in knowledge/data transfer and technology transfer.
