Biography

Mark Haselkorn is Professor and former Chair of Human Centered Design & Engineering at the University of Washington (UW). He is Director of the College of Engineering’s Center on Collaborative Systems for Security, Safety & Regional Resilience (CoSSaR) and a long-time leader of projects that help government agencies and NGOs understand, develop, and deploy complex systems to increase collaboration and interoperability for information sharing and coordinated activities. His current role is Director of Safeguarding the Entire Community in the U.S. Research Ecosystem (SECURE), an NSF Center which connects and empowers the U.S. research community to better protect the value produced by federally funded research. The national SECURE Center at UW partners with experts from more than a dozen organizations, organized into five regional centers, in addressing critical issues related to research security and integrity.

Previously, Dr. Haselkorn led the Virtual Coordination Center for Multimodal Integrated Corridor Management Project (VCC) funded by the U.S. and Washington State Departments of Transportation. VCC has deployed a cloud-based environment that enables regional transportation stakeholders to share a common working environment in support of coordinated mobility management. Other projects led by Dr. Haselkorn include the CANUS Maritime Information Sharing Pilot Project, Project Interoperability in Puget Sound (PIPS), and the Maritime Operations Information Sharing (MOISA) project. These projects, focused on enhancing information sharing for regional maritime safety and security, were sponsored by DHS (Coast Guard, CBP, Border Security, and First Responders), the Program Manager for the Information Sharing Environment (PM-ISE), and the National Maritime Intelligence-Integration Office (NMIO).

Dr. Haselkorn has also conducted research on disaster preparedness messaging for the Red Cross Global Disaster Preparedness Center. He previously led an NSF initiative to define the emerging frontier of “Humanitarian Service Science & Engineering.” He has worked with the military on several projects, including the integration of DOD and VA electronic medical records and the Air Force’s strategic management of ICT under the threat of Y2K (a study published by the National Research Council). Dr. Haselkorn has also conducted foundational research in intelligent transportation systems, including development of the first Web-based real-time traveler information system (Traffic Reporter, 1990).
