Kathleen M. Carley is currently a Professor in the School
of Computer Science in the department at the Institute for Software Research at
Carnegie Mellon University. She also holds teaching appointments at the Social
and Decision Sciences Department of the H. John Heinz III College and at the Tepper
School of Business, Engineering and Public Policy Department. Professor Carley
specializes in organization theory, dynamic network analysis, social networks,
multi-agent systems and computational social science, adaptation and
evolution, text mining, and the impact of telecommunication technologies and
policy on communication, information diffusion, disease contagion and response
within and among groups particularly in disaster or crisis situations.
Further, Professor Carley is the Director of Center for
Computational Analysis of Social and Organizational Systems (CASOS), a university wide
interdisciplinary center that brings together network analysis, computer
science and organization science with over 25 members (faculty and staff) and
has a funded training program for Ph.D. students. She and her team at the
Center have developed infrastructure tools for analyzing large scale dynamic networks
and various multi-agent simulation systems including tools such as ORA (toolkit for
analyzing and visualizing multi-dimensional networks), AutoMap
(extracts networks from texts and cross-classifies them) BioWar (city-scale network
based model to understand the spread of disease and illness due to natural
epidemics, chemical spills, biological attacks) and DyNet (covert
networks), among others.
Additionally, she is the founding co-editor with Al.
Wallace of the journal Computational
Organization Theory and has co-edited several books in the computational
organizations and dynamic network area, such as Behavioral Modeling and Simulation, From Individuals to Societies (Kathleen
M. Carley, et al., 2008, Greg L. Zacharias, Jean MacMillan and Susan B. Van
Hemel, editors, National Academies Press, Washington, DC) and Modeling Community Containment for Pandemic
Influenza: A Letter Report (Kathleen M. Carley, et al., 2006, Sallie
Keller-McNulty, Kirstie L. Bellman, Washington, DC: National Academy Press).

Nicely done. She spends a lot of time in Washington, for reasons you've made obvious.
