Gary Ackerman is the director of the Special Projects Division of START and is responsible for integrating and incubating innovative research programs. He is also currently acting director of START’s Unconventional Weapons and Technology Research Program, where he manages large research projects, explores new avenues for research and establishes collaborative research relationships. Prior to taking up his current positions, Ackerman held the post of research director at START and the director of the Center for Terrorism and Intelligence Studies, a private research and analysis institute. He has also served as the Director of the Weapons of Mass Destruction Terrorism Research Program at the Center for Nonproliferation Studies in Monterey, Calif., and chief of operations of the South Africa-based African-Asian Society. Originally hailing from South Africa, Ackerman possesses an eclectic academic background, including past studies in the fields of mathematics, history, law and international relations. His research encompasses various areas relating to terrorism and counterterrorism, including terrorist threat assessment, motivations for using chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) weapons, radicalization, the relationship between terrorism and technology and the modeling and simulation of terrorist behavior. He is the co-editor of and contributing author to “Jihadists and Weapons of Mass Destruction” (CRC Press, 2009), author of several articles on terrorism-related subjects and has testified on terrorist motivations for using nuclear weapons before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security.
