M. E. Kabay, PhD, CISSP-ISSMP - Associate Center Director
M. E. Kabay began programming computers in assembly language in 1965. In 1976, he received his PhD from Dartmouth College in applied statistics and invertebrate zoology and taught biology, statistics and programming as a university professor in Canada and overseas. In 1979, he joined a compiler team for a new 4GL and RDBMS in the U.S. and then joined Hewlett-Packard Canada in 1980 as an operating systems and database performance specialist, winning the Systems Engineer of the Year Award in 1982.
He earned his CISSP designation in 1997. He served as Director of Education for the National Computer Security Association (NCSA, later ICSA and then TruSecure) from 1990 to 1999 and then worked with AtomicTangerine where he supported the International Institute for Information Integrity® (I-4®).
Since 1986, he has published over 950 articles in operations management and security, written a college textbook on enterprise security (McGraw-Hill, 1996), and served as Technical Editor of the 4th Edition of the Computer Security Handbook (Wiley, 2002). He writes two security-management columns a week distributed by Network World and is working on the 5th Edition of the Computer Security Handbook.
He has been an invited lecturer at the United States War College, NATO HQ, and at NATO Counterintelligence training in Germany. He was inducted into the ISSA (Information Systems Security Association) Hall of Fame in December 2004 and earned his ISSMP (Information Systems Security Management Professional) designation in November 2005.
Michael Puddicombe is a teacher, researcher and consultant who joins the worlds of practice and academics. He spent 20 years in all aspects of the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) before returning to academia to pursue his Doctorate at Boston University. During his doctoral studies his research focused on developing a strategic, management based theory of construction and project management.
His research has been presented at engineering, construction and business conferences and published in journals worldwide. His teaching and consulting focus on strategic issues in construction management with a special focus on emerging models of Integrated Project Delivery and Building Information Modeling (BIM).
Currently he is the Director of the Solar VIllage project at Norwich University as well as the Co-Director of the Construction Engineering Management program. He is the Co-Chair of the Academic SubForum of the ABG BIMForum. He is at the forefront of understanding how to integrate BIM into AEC education.
