NRC Appoints New Director of SSB and ASEB
The National Research Council (NRC) has selected Dr. Michael Moloney as the new Director of the Space Studies Board (SSB) and the Aeronautics and Space Engineering Board (ASEB). Dr. Moloney is a veteran NRC staff member and is currently serving as the Associate Director of the NRC’s Board on Physics and Astronomy. He is the lead staff member on the Astro2010 Decadal Survey on Astronomy and Astrophysics. The NRC said that Dr. Moloney would phase into his new position as Director of SSB and ASEB as Astro2010 winds down over the next several months. An official starting date will be announced later.
Dr. Moloney also has worked for the NRC’s National Materials Advisory Board (NMAB) and other NRC units. He received his Ph.D. in experimental physics from Trinity College Dublin and has served in the Irish Foreign Service.
On a personal note, I want to add my hearty congratulations to Michael as he takes over my former positions at the NRC. He is an excellent choice and I know will be a strong leader for the two Boards both inside the NRC and with the Board’s customers in NASA, NOAA, NSF, DOE, USGS and other agencies. Congratulations, Michael!
