Britta Voss has been an American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Science and Technology Policy Fellow with the NIST Public Safety Communications Research division since September 2017. She holds a Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology/Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Joint Program in Oceanography and a B.S. from the University of Washington. She dabbles in crowdsourcing and artificial intelligence by submitting observations of groundhogs and other wildlife on the NIST campuses to an app that identifies wildlife using computer vision.

Dat Duthinh holds a B.S. from Princeton University, a M.S. from the University of Delaware and a Ph.D. from Cornell University, all in civil/structural engineering. Before joining NIST, he worked on the design and construction of the Hibernia Gravity Based Structure, a massive concrete platform offshore Newfoundland, Canada, built to resist the impact of icebergs and the onslaught of waves. One of the most exciting projects during his decade spent studying ice-structure interaction was an Antarctic expedition he led to measure the pressure and force of impact of icebergs against vertical structures.  He took part in the investigation of the World Trade Center collapse, served on several panels of the National Academies, was a visiting professor at the University of Rome La Sapienza in 2010, and is associate editor of American Society of Civil Engineers Journal of Structural Engineering. He received the DOC Silver Medal for Scientific/Engineering Achievement in 2007.
