Biography

Cliff Glantz is a chief scientist and project manager with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory's Energy and Environment Directorate. His research focuses on critical infrastructure protection, cyber and cyber-physical security, risk management, consequence assessment modeling, and emergency response and preparedness. Glantz's recent work supports a broad array of national and international projects. This includes projects conducted for various Department of Energy (DOE) offices, including the Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response; the Office of Electricity; and the Office of International Nuclear Security. Glantz also supports various projects for the U.S. Department of State, International Atomic Energy Agency, and other organizations. He played an instrumental role in developing the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission cybersecurity program in the wake of 9/11, including the development of their cybersecurity rule, regulatory guide, and assessment methodology.

Glantz is the former Chair of the DOE Subcommittee on Technical Analysis and Response Support and coordinated its many working groups. He has played key roles in the development of several consequence assessment models that are widely used for emergency planning and response applications. Glantz has authored well over 200 publications and conference presentations and developed numerous products and tools since joining PNNL in 1982.
