His expertise focused on the strategic impacts of technological change and on building resilience to natural and man-made disasters as issues of US national security.

His writings significantly altered U.S. and international approaches to civil-military engagement, US policy in global humanitarian assistance, and global public-private partnerships in disaster relief.[1] He has also made fundamental contributions to technical areas that have defined [2] network-enabled military capabilities and cyberspace operations.[3] After retiring from public service, he continued to contribute to the international STAR-TIDES [4] network that he had founded in 2007.[4] the international STAR-TIDES[5] network, a consortium of several thosand global nodes comprising agencies, organizations, institutions and individuals in 40+ countries that promote the free exchange of research results on global issues of human security.

He was additionally selected in 2010 to direct the NDU Center for Technology and National Security Policy and, later, to be Interim Director of the Institute for National Strategic Studies (INSS). His post-government work focused on the impact of rapidly changing technologies on U.S. national security policy, emphasizing the strategic importance of the accelerating and converging developments in Biotechnology, Robotics, Information technology, Nanotechnology and Energy ("BRINE"), a term coined by his colleague Frank Hoffman. He now is a Visiting Distinguished Research Fellow at INSS at NDU, and Executive Advisor to the C4I and Cyber Center and the Community Resilience Laboratory in the Volgenau School of Engineering at George Mason University (GMU).
