PNNL

A cybersecurity engineer at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), Addy Moran-Schmoker has over eight years of experience in research and development with a focus on cybersecurity and data analytics. As a well-rounded engineer, she excels in technical implementation, briefings and presentations, and program management. Her leadership and contributions to numerous research projects have led to a patent, showcasing her innovative capabilities. Moran-Schmoker is pursuing a master’s degree in applied and computational mathematics at Johns Hopkins University, complementing her bachelor’s degree in computer science from Colorado State University.

Driven by a passion for tactical and first responder operations, Moran-Schmoker holds a Colorado Fire/Hazmat 1 certification and plans to pursue her EMT certification, demonstrating her commitment to bridging technical expertise with applied operations for first responders.

Moran-Schmoker is deeply engaged in the research process, valuing the complexity of problems over the tools used to solve them. A lifelong learner inspired by polymaths like Leonardo Da Vinci, she strives to continually expand her knowledge and skillset while remaining curious and adaptable.
