9/11 Eleven Years Later. What have we learned? Where are we going?

These University of Maryland experts are available to discuss current and future U.S. homeland security needs ten years after 9/11. Among future security needs:

  • Training of intelligence analysts to meet expected shortages and to create a culture that will help overcome barriers to inter-agency sharing of intelligence (see Nolte and Gansler below)
  • Developing new technology to improve port security (Lucyshyn and Gabriel)
  • Developing better understanding of terrorist psychology and organization (see LaFree and Kruglanski below)

  • Facing Nuclear and Bioterrror Threats (see Steinbruner, Gallagher, Leitenberg below)
  • Food Safety (see Sapkota, Buchanan, Parrish and others below)


  • Architecture's Garth Rockcastle can talk about how skyscraper design has changed since 9/11 (contact us to talk with him).

    The experts may be contacted directly (see alphabetically listed entries below).
