Kimberly Glasgow is a researcher and senior social network analyst at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. She was previously a technical director and senior social network analyst for CACI, Inc.  She has consulted on aspects of implementing social network analysis (SNA) as an analytic methodology for the National Security Agency.  She has performed social network analysis against a wide range of high-level intelligence targets on issues ranging from evaluating foreign leaders' networks of decision-making and influence, to terrorism, to proliferation.  As part of the 2008 Director of National Intelligence's Summer Hard Problem Program (SHARP):  Biological Warfare Perpetrators: Rationality, Culture, and Likelihood of Discovery, Ms. Glasgow integrated a social network perspective into evaluating the potential for a loosely-affiliated group or organization to decide on the use of biological agents, and explored the role of the internet in enabling predisposed individuals to network and coalesce into potentially dangerous groups. More recently, recommendations and conclusions of the 2009 SHARP program, in which Ms. Glasgow participated, have been incorporated into “The Nuclear Forensics and Attribution Act,”  which was signed into law in 2010. Her current interests include extending social network methods and techniques to new or unique intelligence problems, the impact of on-line social networking, and the role of social networks on influencing cognition.
