Dillon Watring, Ph.D.

Director of Research

Hi! My name is Dillon Watring. I am a national leader in emerging technologies such as AI, materials science, and advanced manufacturing. I am currently the Director of Research at a research and defense company where I develop applied research partnerships with universities to solve national security challenges. I have a background in leading national-scale research programs and conducting bench research. Outside of work, I am passionate about writing. I enjoy writing non-fiction about the intersection of research, policy, and technology, and I have recently begun exploring the world of science fiction writing.
