Trusted CI, the NSF Cybersecurity Center of Excellence, today announced that Sean Peisert has been tapped to serve as its Deputy Director on the leadership team of the organization. Peisert, a Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) senior scientist in the Scientific Data Division, joined the organization in 2019 and “has made strong leadership contributions” according to the post.
“I am honored to be asked to take on this leadership role and excited to support the new Trusted CI Director, Jim Basney, and to work with the rest of the team to continue the positive impact that Trusted CI has demonstrated for the past decade,” said Peisert. “Trusted CI plays a vital role in supporting and improving cybersecurity for NSF scientific cyberinfrastructure.”
Science and engineering are increasingly reliant on computing, digital data, interoperability, and support for collaboration, and cybersecurity is critical to ensuring the integrity and trust of scientific data as well as interoperability. Trusted CI, the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Cybersecurity Center of Excellence’s mission is to lead in the development of an NSF cybersecurity ecosystem to enable trustworthy science for a nation that is a global leader in research and innovation. Trusted CI collaborates with NSF-funded research organizations to focus on addressing the unique cybersecurity challenges they face.
About Computing Sciences at Berkeley Lab
High performance computing plays a critical role in scientific discovery. Researchers increasingly rely on advances in computer science, mathematics, computational science, data science, and large-scale computing and networking to increase our understanding of ourselves, our planet, and our universe. Berkeley Lab’s Computing Sciences Area researches, develops, and deploys new foundations, tools, and technologies to meet these needs and to advance research across a broad range of scientific disciplines.
Founded in 1931 on the belief that the biggest scientific challenges are best addressed by teams, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and its scientists have been recognized with 16 Nobel Prizes. Today, Berkeley Lab researchers develop sustainable energy and environmental solutions, create useful new materials, advance the frontiers of computing, and probe the mysteries of life, matter, and the universe. Scientists from around the world rely on the Lab’s facilities for their own discovery science. Berkeley Lab is a multiprogram national laboratory, managed by the University of California for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science.
DOE’s Office of Science is the single largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences in the United States, and is working to address some of the most pressing challenges of our time. For more information, please visit energy.gov/science.
