Top SchoolStacy Prowell is an experienced software and systems engineering leader with 14+ years advancing cybersecurity research and resilient critical-infrastructure solutions. As Associate Director of Research at Tennessee Tech's CEROC and a long-time senior researcher at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, she has led teams that built automated reverse-engineering tools, physics-based intrusion detection, quantum-enabled cryptography, and microelectronics analysis capabilities. She blends academic rigor (Ph.D. in Computer Science) with practical product and program management, having directed research centers, run a small software company, and taught as an adjunct professor. Her work uniquely spans computationally intensive methods, rigorous system modeling, and federal cyber policy, making her adept at translating hard research into deployable defenses.
