We are excited to announce that Dr. Danielle Sumy will lead our next ARISE webinar. Dr. Sumy serves as a program director for the National Science Foundation’s Directorate for Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP). TIP is just a couple years old. It was authorized by the CHIPS and Science Act in 2022, with ‘natural and anthropogenic disaster prevention or mitigation’ identified as one of the ten key emerging technologies.
In addition to describing the TIP directorate, Dr. Sumy will talk about her role for the disaster prevention or mitigation emerging tech topic. She will also discuss the Responsible Design, Development, and Deployment of Technologies (ReDDDoT) program, which has disaster risk reduction as a focus. She will be on hand to answer any questions you might have about TIP, or other programs that she works on, including Regional Resilience Innovation Incubators (R2I2), Confronting Hazards, Impacts, and Risks for a Resilient Planet (CHIRRP), and Centers for Research and Innovation in Science, the Environment and Society (CRISES).
Speaker Bio:

Danielle Sumy is a Program Director within the Directorate of Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP), Division of Innovation and Technology Ecosystems (ITE). Her programs include ReDDDoT, R2I2, CHIRRP, and CRISES, to name a few. She also serves on the Wildfire and ER2 working groups. Prior to joining TIP, Sumy served as a project manager at the EarthScope Consortium (formerly the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology, or IRIS), working on wide-ranging projects spanning from multi-hazard alerting strategies to reduce the impacts of natural and anthropogenic hazards, geoscience field education, and workforce development. From 2018-2022, Sumy led a team of geoscientists and education professionals to build public trust, understanding, and an accessible and equitable earthquake early warning system for the U.S. Geological Survey. Her research intersects applied science with policy, as much of her technical results provide actionable guidance to state and federal government organizations. Her recent research results on effective early warning strategies to mitigate disasters have been published in the International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction, Safety Science, Oceanography, Geophysics, and Seismological Research Letters. Sumy holds a PhD in marine geophysics and seismology from the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University.
