		Cliff Kerr \| Director and analyst Cliff received his PhD in theoretical physics from the University of Sydney. He is currently a Research Fellow at the Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York, working on an implantable computer that will restore lost function in patients with brain damage. He is also a Senior Research Associate at the Kirby Institute in Sydney, Australia, using mathematical models to predict when and where new HIV infections will occur. His areas of expertise include the development of large-scale models, time series analysis, and high-performance computing.
