Join Dr. Abby Goldman (Cornell MSE PhD ’18) and Dr. Steve Rabinowitz for a virtual presentation and discussion about career opportunities in science policy and national security analysis at the Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA). IDA is a federally-funded think tank that provides objective technical and policy analyses to the Federal government on a range of multidisciplinary topics. IDA assists the United States Government in addressing important national security and science policy issues, covering a spectrum of topics from basic science and system evaluations to cost analyses, workforce, human-machine interfaces, cybersecurity, intelligence, and strategic planning. Following graduation from Cornell, Dr. Goldman joined the Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA), specifically within their Science Technology Policy Institute (STPI). Dr. Rabinowitz has been working in IDA’s Operational Evaluation Division for 28 years, where he leads the Undersea Warfare task.
