Kristin Omberg
Group Leader, Chemical and Biological Signatures, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Kristin Omberg joined Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in 2015. She is the group leader of the Chemical and Biological Signatures Group, which comprises about 60 researchers working to develop and integrate experimental and data analytics techniques spanning chemistry, biology, and advanced materials to identify and solve scientific challenges of national security importance and address emerging threats. Omberg’s technical work focuses on developing science and technology solutions that can be deployed in operational environments or used to inform policy decisions. She recently led the team that established a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments certified high-complexity testing laboratory to process COVID-19 specimens at PNNL and worked with the Departments of Energy and Health and Human Services to evaluate methods for COVID-19 specimen analysis. She is currently supporting the National Nuclear Security Administration in developing its Bioassurance Program.
Before joining PNNL, she spent more than 15 years at Los Alamos National Laboratory, where she was a program manager and principal investigator for numerous projects for the Department of Homeland Security and Defense. She led field experiments and operational deployments involving environmental sampling for biological agents, investigated the persistence, fate, and transport of chemical and bioterrorism agents in outdoor environments; and developed statistically based methods for evaluating detection protocols.

Kristin Ann Hass
Professor of American Culture, University of Michigan
Kristin Ann Hass is a Professor in the Department of American Culture and Faculty Coordinator of the Humanities Collaboratory at the University of Michigan. She lectures, teaches, and writes about nationalism, memory, publics, memorialization, militarization, race, visual culture, and material culture studies.
She has written three books. Blunt Instruments: Recognizing Racist Infrastructure in Memorials, Museums and Patriotic Practices helps readers to identify, classify and name elements of our everyday landscapes and cultural practices that are designed to seem benign or natural but which, in fact, work to maintain powerful structures of inequity. Sacrificing Soldiers on the National Mall is a study of militarism, race, war memorials and U.S. nationalism and Carried to the Wall: American Memory and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial is an exploration of public memorial practices, material culture studies and the legacies of the Vietnam War.
Hass is also the editor of Being Human During COVID. Over the course of the pandemic, the questions that occupy the humanities—about grieving and publics, the social contract and individual rights, racial formation and xenophobia, ideas of home and conceptions of gender, narrative and representations and power—have become shared life-or-death questions about how human societies work and how culture determines our collective fate. The contributors in this collection draw on scholarly expertise and lived experience to try to make sense of the unfamiliar present.
Hass is also the faculty coordinator for the University of Michigan Humanities Collaboratory. The Humanities Collaboratory is a bold investment by the university in collaborative, multi-generational, inclusive, and transformational humanities scholarship that engages compelling questions for the academy and the world beyond. The Humanities Collaboratory gives singularly generous grants to support innovative and ambitious forms of humanities scholarship. Our mission is to give humanists access to significant resources to enable new kinds of work on the remarkable diversity of human experience across the globe.
She holds a Ph.D. in American studies and has worked in several historical museums, including the National Museum of American History. She was also the co-founder and Associate Director of Imagining America: Artists and Scholars in Public Life, a national consortium of educators and activists dedicated to campus-community collaborations.

Kristina Hook
Assistant Professor of Conflict Management, Kennesaw State University
I am an Assistant Professor of Conflict Management at Kennesaw State University’s School of Conflict Management, Peacebuilding, and Development. As an anthropologist and scholar-practitioner, I specialize in genocide and mass atrocity prevention, emerging technologies and disinformation, post-conflict reconstruction, and war-related environmental degradation. A specialist in Ukraine and Russia, I have worked in 25+ countries including across Eastern Europe, the Balkans, the Middle East, East Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Caribbean.
Supported by National Science Foundation, Fulbright, USAID, and other grants and fellowships, I am writing a book about the Ukraine-Russia war. This book discusses Joseph Stalin's historical genocide against Ukraine (the Holodomor) and how modern leaders interpreted this history to predict both Russia's modern genocidal war and Ukraine's stunning resistance. This book draws from more than 8 years of research on the Russia-Ukraine war, including 2.5 years of fieldwork across 32 Ukrainian cities and towns. My book is also based on my doctoral dissertation, which won the Kellogg Institute for International Studies Distinguished Dissertation in Democracy and Human Rights Award and was nominated for several other university and international awards.
I received my joint PhD in peace studies and anthropology from the University of Notre Dame’s Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies and Department of Anthropology. I hold M.A. degrees in anthropology (2019) and in international development (2012) from the University of Notre Dame and the University of Denver’s Josef Korbel School of International Studies respectively. My B.A. in anthropology is from the University of Florida, where I graduated as a valedictorian.
Prior to my time in academia, I served as a policy advisor at the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations and as a political/economic officer in an embassy abroad. I received a U.S. Department of State Meritorious Honor Award for my work on preventing and responding to mass atrocities and was a 2013-2015 Presidential Management Fellow.
I have also held leaderships roles at several international development and conflict resolution non-governmental organizations (NGOs). At George Mason University's Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter School for Peace and Conflict Resolution, I served as the inaugural Executive Director of the Better Evidence Project which bridges gaps in policy, research, practice, and donors in the war prevention field. In 2017, I was recognized with the Society for Applied Anthropology's Human Rights Defender Award.
Presently, I am a non-resident fellow at the Marine Corps University's Krulak Center for Innovation and Future Warfare. I regularly consult with government, multilateral, and human rights organizations.

Kristofer Wollein Waldetoft
Postdoctoral Fellow in Infection Medicine, Georgia Institute of Technology
Kristofer Wollein Waldetoft is a postdoctoral fellow with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, working in the laboratory of Sam P. Brown at the Georgia Institute of Technology. The overarching theme of his research is to use theory and concepts from evolution and ecology to address the problem of antibiotic resistance in pathogenic bacteria. In particular, he uses modelling and experiments to better understand the evolutionary ecology of antibiotic resistance in chronic lung infections in patients with cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease that affects several organ systems, including the lung, where it results in life-long infection. For the future, he aimes to combine research on resistance evolution with work in the clinic. Kristofer's background includes the Lund University medical school and a PhD in infection medicine in the laboratory of Lars Björck at the aforementioned university. During his PhD training, he investigated interactions between surface proteins of streptococci and the human blood clotting system, as well as the mechanisms by which saliva induces blood clotting. In his spare time, he rides a laid back bike and paddles on the Chattahoochee river.
