Dr. Nicholas Judson is the Associate Leader of the Energy Systems Group at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. His group focuses on Department of Defense (DoD) tactical energy systems, DoD installation energy systems, domestic energy resilience, advanced energy technologies, and the cyber security of control systems. He leads teams focusing on resilience of DoD missions to natural and man-made disruptions of critical infrastructure, especially energy, water, communications, and the control systems that operate them. This is partly done through analysis, planning, and execution of exercises for the DoD and other U.S. government agencies to identify gaps in capabilities, and to develop technical solutions. He is a technical advisor for the ESTCP Energy and Water Program and the ESTCP Natural Hazards Program within the DoD, helping guide strategy as well as research and development projects to increase military capabilities for critical infrastructure resilience to a wide range of threats. He received his Ph.D. in Microbiology and Molecular Genetics from Harvard University and his A.B. in Biochemistry from Columbia University.
