Join us for a fireside chat with Dr. Jaclyn Kellon '13, Program Manager, U.S. Department of State in the Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation, Office of Export Control Cooperation.

Jaclyn Kellon manages a $30 million program in eight countries and oversees capacity building efforts in Eastern Europe to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, their delivery systems, advanced conventional weapons, and emerging and disruptive technologies.

Previously, Jaclyn worked at the National Nanotechnology Coordination Office, leading the development of the National Nanotechnology Initiative’s Strategic Plan and supporting the nanosensors interagency working group.

 Jaclyn obtained her Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Oregon where she studied how molecular interfaces influence the conductivity, geometry, and toxicity of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles under Professor Jim Hutchison .  While at the University of Oregon, she founded and led two student groups focused on supporting ethno-racial minority graduate students.  Jaclyn discovered her love of chemistry at Goucher College and is forever grateful to the professors that fostered her interest and set her on this career path.  

This event is free and open to the public. Sponsored by a Broad, Humane Perspective mini-grant from the Office of the Provost.
