Affiliate, Genetics
BioPaul is a career storyteller and brand development expert with an uncanny ability to build bridges between cultures, industries and the technologies that shape them.
His experience spans emerging technological areas in AI, national security, bioterrorism, nanotechnology, aerospace, autonomous transportation and global development. He is currently the Sr. Director of External Communications for space-based intelligence company BlackSky.
Paul previously led all brand, marketing and communications for Bill Gates’ Global Good technology invention fund at private equity firm Intellectual Ventures. He has created and led the execution of award-winning integrated communications campaigns, including two SABRE Awards, for Fortune 100 clients at PR agencies Grayling and Waggener Edstrom. Paul was the communications lead for various stealth fighter and drone sensor programs at Northrop Grumman, including the F-35, F-22 and Global Hawk programs.
He began his public relations career as a U.S. Marine Officer attaining the rank of Captain and led all publicity efforts for numerous crisis incidents including the 2001 Anthrax attack on the U.S. Capitol. He is a graduate of the Defense Information School at Fort Meade, Maryland, the strategic marketing executive program at The Booth School of Business at the University of Chicago, and received an M.A. in Communications from Johns Hopkins University. Paul completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Washington, receiving a B.A. in International Studies as well as an additional B.A. in Comparative History of Ideas.
Paul serves as a board member and trustee at the Museum of History and Industry in Seattle, Washington, and is an advisor for the NATO DIANA and Defense Innovation Unit startup accelerator programs. Paul is a visiting scholar at the Hoover Institution exploring the intersection of agentic AI, national security and behavioral intent.

Blas Cabrera
Stanley G. Wojcicki Professor, Emeritus
BioFor five years up to mid-2015 has been Spokesperson for the SuperCDMS (Cryogenic Dark Matter Search) collaboration with twenty-two member institutions, which mounted a series of experiments in the Soudan mine in northern Minnesota to search for the dark matter in the form of weakly interacting massive particles or WIMPs. This direct detection effort has lead the world in sensitivity for much of the past ten years and utilizes novel cryogenic detectors using germanium and silicon crystals operated below 0.1 K. The completed CDMS II experiment operated 4 kg of germanium and 1 kg of silicon for two years and set the most sensitive limits at the time for spin-independent interactions for WIMPs masses above 40 GeV/c2. The SuperCDMS Soudan experiment operated 9 kg of germanium until the end of calendar 2015.
He was selected for a three-term as Project Director, through mid 2018, for the approved second generation (G2) SuperCDMS SNOLAB experiment which will operate 30 kg of Ge and Si detectors in the deeper SNOLAB facility in Canada. The project searches for low mass WIMPs (0.1 - 10 GeV/c2) and the cryostat facility will allow future upgrades to search down to the solar neutrino floor. It has recently been approved for full construction by the DOE and NSF.
