About the Speaker

Mason Rice
Dr. Mason Rice is the director of the Cyber Resilience and Intelligence Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. In this role, he is responsible for an R&D portfolio focused on advanced intelligent systems and resilient cyber-physical systems, including research into (1) AI for national security, (2) cybersecurity for critical systems, (3) machine-augmented intelligence, (4) vulnerability science, and (5) identity science.

Following retirement from the Army, Dr. Rice joined ORNL in 2017 as the Cyber-Physical R&D Manager and was soon appointed as the first Group Leader for Resilient Cyber-Physical Systems at ORNL. He ultimately grew the group into four focused research groups, at which point he was selected to be the first Section Head of the new Resilient Cyber-Physical Systems Section.
