Biography
Cliff Joslyn started at Oberlin College in 1981 and received a BA in Cognitive Science, Cybernetics and Mathematics in 1985. From 1987 he continued at the State University of New York at Binghamton, where in 1989 he received a MS in Systems Science, and in 1994 under George Klir he received a PhD in Systems Science with the thesis "Possibilistic Processes for Complex Systems Modeling".
From 1994 to 1996 he was a NRC Research Associate at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. From 1996 to 2007 he was team leader at Los Alamos National Laboratory, where he lead the Knowledge and Information Systems Science research team in the Modeling, Algorithms and Informatics (CCS-3) Group of the Computer, Computational, and Statistical Sciences Division at the Los Alamos National Laboratory.[1] Since 2007 he is Chief Scientist for Knowledge Sciences at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Washington, USA.
Joslyn is on the editorial boards of the "International Journal of General Systems", the "Journal of Biosemiotics", and "Advances in Complex Systems".
In 1991 Joslyn was awarded the Sir Geoffrey Vickers' Award for Best Student Paper from the International Society for the Systems Sciences. In 1997 he received the Distinguished Performance Award: A Large Team Award for IRS Fraud Detection Projects, Los Alamos National Laboratory.[2]
Work
Research interests extends from "order theoretical approaches to knowledge discovery and database analysis to include computational semiotics, qualitative modeling, and generalized information theory, with applications in computational biology, infrastructure protection, homeland defense, intelligence analysis, and defense transformation".[1]
