CHAIR
Jay C. Davis is the President of the Hertz Foundation, which funds graduate studies in the
applied physical sciences and engineering. Davis is a nuclear physicist trained at the Universities
of Texas and Wisconsin. During his three-decade career at the Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory (LLNL), he built accelerators for research in nuclear physics and for materials
science in support of the fusion program. In 1988, Davis founded the Center for Accelerator
Mass Spectrometry, the World’s most versatile and productive AMS laboratory, creating isotopic
tracing and tagging tools for research programs in the geosciences, toxicology, nutritional
sciences, oncology, archaeology, and nuclear forensics. At the time he left LLNL to join the
Department of Defense (DOD) in 1998, he was the Associate Director for Earth and
Environmental Sciences.

George W. Anderson, Jr. received his Ph.D. in immunology from the Johns Hopkins
University. He is a Registered Biosafety Professional with the American Biological Safety
Association. Anderson’s research experience includes work with Rickettsia, hemorrhagic fever
viruses and bacterial agents in high containment laboratories as an U.S. Army, Medical Service
Corps Officer. Anderson has been involved with the Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR)
Program for over 10 years, including living in the former Soviet Union while engaged full time
in support of the program. He was involved in facility biosafety assessments, biosafety training,
laboratory renovation, equipment setup and training, laboratory sustainment operations and
preparation for exercises to test the disease surveillance system and diagnostic laboratories
engaged by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency in several countries. Anderson is currently the
Select Agent Manager at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory where he is also the
Chair of the Institutional Biosafety Committee and the Institutional Animal Care and Use
Committee.
Steven J. Gitomer received his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the University of

the Los Alamos Center for International Security Affairs in 1995 and was a member of the
Nonproliferation and International Security Division beginning in 1993, where his
responsibilities included serving as an U.S. member of the Scientific Advisory Committee of the
International Science and Technology Center (ISTC), Senior Science Advisor to the U. S.
Department of State for the Science and Technology Center in Ukraine (STCU), and principal
Los Alamos point-of-contact for the ISTC, STCU, and lab-to-lab interactions with the former
Soviet Union. From 1991 to 1993, Gitomer served at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE)
Office of Arms Control in Washington D.C., where his work focused on implementation of the
Threshold Test Ban Treaty and the establishment of the science and technology centers in Russia
and Ukraine. Dr. Gitomer retired from LANL in 2005 and became a part-time senior scientist
with the U.S. Civilian Research and Development Foundation, he continued his nonproliferation

work, adding Iraqi scientist interactions to his portfolio. In 2009, he was appointed as the
National Science Foundation program director for plasma physics.
Mary Alice Hayward is Vice President for Strategy, Government and International Affairs at
AREVA Inc. in North America. Previously she was Deputy Assistant Secretary for Nuclear
Nonproliferation Policy and Negotiations in the Department of State’s Bureau of International
Security and Nonproliferation. Her portfolio included preventing the smuggling of weapons of
mass destruction (WMD) and their delivery systems, implementing international threat reduction
programs, developing nuclear nonproliferation policies, tracking, controlling, and securing
dangerous materials, including fissile and radiological materials and pathogens, conducting
multilateral arms control, nonproliferation, and WMD terrorism negotiations, and developing
and shaping nuclear energy policy. Ms. Hayward also served at the U.S. General Accountability
Office, the Senate Armed Services Committee, the Department of Energy and the National
Security Council where her portfolios focused on reviewing, evaluating and developing policies
