Page Stoutland is a consultant to NTI. He previously served as the NTI Vice President for Scientific and Technical Affairs, responsible for NTI’s scientific and technically related projects designed to strengthen nuclear security and reduce risks around the world. Current themes include understanding the risks and benefits of emerging technologies for nuclear security, working to strengthen cybersecurity for nuclear weapons systems and at nuclear facilities, and the use of publicly available information for detection of illicit nuclear activities.
Prior to joining NTI, Stoutland spent the previous ten years at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) where he held a number of senior positions, including the director of strategy, program director for domestic security and division leader for radiological & nuclear countermeasures. During this time, he was instrumental in developing and leading LLNL’s programs in support of the post-9/11 homeland security effort.
Prior to joining LLNL, he held positions within the U.S. Department of Energy where he served as the director of the Chemical and Biological National Security Program and at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
Stoutland holds a bachelor’s degree from St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota and a doctorate in chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley. After completing his doctorate, he spent two years at Stanford University as a National Institutes of Health post-doctoral fellow. In 2018, Stoutland was elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Reducing and eliminating any nuclear risk that could lead to catastrophe is a common interest for all and an enduring responsibility for all nuclear-armed states.
There is a critical need for a global diplomatic approach to address growing cyber risks, including, where possible, through cooperation between the United States and Russia.
With the Center for Advanced Defense Studies, NTI demonstrates the viability of using publicly available information and machine learning to detect nuclear proliferation.
As cyber capabilities evolve and nuclear weapons systems become increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks, the risk increases that nuclear weapons will be used by accident or miscalculation.
Open, increasingly digital data combined with tools for data analytics can supplement traditional nonproliferation efforts by detecting illicit proliferation
The damaging effects of the light, heat, blast, and radiation caused by a nuclear explosion have been known to scientists since the end of the Second World War
For as long as we have nuclear weapons, the United States must ensure they are safe, secure, and reliable.
