Anna M. Cole
Advisory Biomedical Engineer
For the Warfighter Human-Systems Integration Laboratory (WHSIL) at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), Ms. Anna Cole provides engineering and technical support for the Virtual Environment Technologies (VIRTE) program, which develops and evaluates technologies and methodologies to enhance the training of Marines in urban close-quarters combat. Ms. Cole's responsibilities include testing and maintaining state-of-the-art, low-to-high fidelity tracking systems, developing experimental metrics and algorithms for post-processing and analysis, and assisting in human-subject experiments. She also designs and develops prototype circuitry and instrumentation to amplify and filter physiological signals used to analyze a subject's cognitive performance and arousal during tasks conducted in VE scenarios. Her duties extend to configuration control of laboratory resources, maintenance of equipment inventory, and drafting standard operating procedures for calibrating and running real-time tracking systems coupled with virtual environments.
Her areas of expertise center on software development, technical writing, bioinstrumentation, and signal/image processing.

Will Rollin
Senior Homeland Defense Analyst
Will Rollin is Strategic Analysis' Senior Homeland Defense Analyst. His work focuses on Joint Strategic, operational and Tactical Planning; Antiterrorism/Force Protection (AT/FP), Counterterrorism Operations; Project Management; Personnel Management; and Training at the entry-level, instructor training and coaching, and safety. Mr. Rollin graduated with a Masters Degree in Space Systems Operations Management from Webster University in 2005, and a Bachelors Degree in Business Administration from Fitchburg State College in 1996.
Will Rollin currently assists USNORTHCOM (NC/J34) in developing and executing AT/FP policies, plans, training and exercises as well as advising senior military and civilian leaders on national-level issues with AT/FP equities.
Catherine J. Salsman
Staff Scientist
Dr. Catherine Salsman's work centers on the U.S. Army Research Office (ARO) and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) where her efforts focus on a variety of projects in basic research (6.1) for Chem-Bio Defense, ranging from biochemistry of biological threats-to new materials for filtration and decontamination-to basic research in microfluids and spectroscopy for detection. Additionally, Dr. Salsman's tasks include early applied research (6.2) in explosives detection, Chem-Bio Protection and Hazard Mitigation (decontamination), and chemical and biological sensing. Specific to DTRA, she is working on a project of which the end result will be a report on the applications and future needs in nanotechnology for Chem-Bio defense. Her duties include regular site visits to performers, oversight at technical field tests, evaluation of proposals, reviews of current research efforts and internal publicity of those efforts, technical input in conference and meeting planning, and recommendations for future Chem-Bio research topics.
Dr. Salsman's expertise includes explosives detection, electron transfer, infrared spectroscopy, spectroelectrochemistry, and electrochemistry.

Daryl M. Treger
Advisory Engineer
Mr. Daryl Treger currently performs analytical and engineering work for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, Defense Sciences Office (DARPA/DSO). Specifically, Mr. Treger supports technology programs in superconductivity in power systems, multi-ferroics and magneto-electronics, propulsion systems for unmanned underwater vehicles, negative index materials, bio-magnetics, and direct thermal-to-energy-conversion.
Mr. Treger's expertise in the superconductivity area includes cryogenic refrigeration and packaging of electronic devices, circuits, and systems; in the magnetic materials area, his skills include spintronics and non-volatile memory devices. He has co-authored numerous technical papers, including spintronics' articles for Science magazine, The Industrial Physicist, Handbook of Nanoscience, the IBM Journal, and MRS Bulletin. Mr. Treger also co-edited a Special Issue on spintronics in the IEEE Spectrum. Furthermore, as part of a committee, Mr. Treger was instrumental in organizing SPINTECH-1, the first international conference on spin-transport phenomena.
