PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
Dr. Joseph Chang is a Senior Physical Scientist at the RAND Corporation. Prior to
joining RAND, he was a Distinguished Analyst and Corporate Fellow at ANSER. He has
close to 30 years of experience in management and in diverse technical areas in homeland
security (e.g., border security, immigration, chemical security, aviation security,
infrastructure protection, risk assessment, operational analysis, and performance
measurement) and atmospheric sciences (e.g., atmospheric modeling, dispersion/plume
modeling, air pollution, environmental impacts, climate change, data analysis, and model
verification and validation). He has a superb track record in developing innovative,
rigorous, high-impact solutions to address the myriad of homeland-security challenges
faced by the Nation.
Below is a summary of his professional experience, showcasing his exceptional
versatility where he applied his strong technical and analytical skills to lead wide-ranging
interdisciplinary projects to inform policy decisions.
Dr. Chang’s experience in areas related to homeland security is highlighted as follows:
He led the efforts in developing a holistic Border Condition Index to assess the
general conditions of the U.S.-Mexico border region and inform policy decisions
of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
He developed an optimization-based strategic sampling framework to (1) assess
the performance of the current surveillance technology allocation along the U.S.-
Mexico border and (2) inform various policy and management questions (e.g.,
DHS’s readiness to respond to an illegal-migrant surge in different areas and how
to reallocate sensors if necessary).
He developed a model to estimate the number of illegal migrants who
successfully crossed the border each year, including those who were previously
apprehended and those who were never apprehended. This work fundamentally
changed how the Border Patrol and researchers at large view and use the border
apprehension data.
He conducted comprehensive performance assessments of various U.S. Customs
and Border Protection operations using innovative techniques.
He refined a unified model for the illegal immigration system to facilitate
discussions of policy options. The model includes four interconnecting
submodels: discrete-choice border crossing, border apprehension, removal, and
wage of illegal migrants.
He was a key member of the scientific advisory group who oversaw the planning
and execution of the Jack Rabbit field programs involving the release of 2 to 20
tons of pressurized, liquefied chlorine per trial. The field data collected are used
to refine dispersion modeling algorithms and improve the training of first
responders for large-scale toxic chemical releases.
Page 3 JOSEPH C. CHANG, Ph.D.
He was a key member of the advisory board for the Chemical Facility Anti-
Terrorism Standards risk-tiering methodology, and provided critical inputs to
greatly improve the methodology’s adequacy and defensibility.
He developed a methodology for estimating human trafficking prevalence in the
United States. Such estimate raises awareness of the issue and produces data-
driven decisions about congressional appropriations and interagency resource
allocations.
He developed a probabilistic framework to address the performance of various
Transportation Security Administration’s risk-based screening objectives for low-
risk air passengers.
He studied the Federal Air Marshal Service’s current risk-based scheduling
system and provided recommendations for the next-generation scheduling system.
Dr. Chang’s experience in areas related to atmospheric sciences is highlighted as follows:
He provided technical management for the Department of Defense (DoD) Office
of the Special Assistant for Gulf War Illnesses to assess the potential exposures to
U.S. troops due to inadvertent chemical agent releases during the 1991 Gulf War.
He developed the Hybrid Plume Dispersion Model and the Offshore Coastal
Dispersion Model (an Environmental Protection Agency’s preferred regulatory
model). He also developed for the Department of Energy uranium enrichment
plants a dispersion model that accounts for complex thermodynamics and
chemistry of uranium hexafluoride.
He evaluated more than a dozen commonly-used dense-gas dispersion models that
are primarily used to model accidental releases of toxic industrial chemicals. He
also extensively evaluated DoD dispersion models, such as (1) the Joint Effects
Model, (2) the Hazard Prediction Assessment Capability, and (3) the
Chemical/Biological Agent Vapor, Liquid, and Solid Tracking model. The model
evaluation methodology that he co-developed has become the standard in the
scientific community.
He maintains the Modelers’ Data Archive, a collection of legacy atmospheric
transport and dispersion field data sets, and has been freely distributing the data to
hundreds of fellow scientists to facilitate their research and provide expert
guidance when appropriate.
Dr. Chang’s other professional achievements include the following:
As a Corporate Fellow of ANSER, he advised organization leadership on a wide
range of scientific and technical issues and mentored junior staff.
He organized and chaired numerous technical conferences and workshops. He
has been hosting the annual George Mason University (GMU) Transport and
Dispersion Modeling Conference for many years, and in 2011 he organized the
first-ever special session on the modeling of the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
Page 4 JOSEPH C. CHANG, Ph.D.
He has published extensively. He authored or co-authored one book (Guidelines
for Use of Vapor Cloud Dispersion Models published by the American Institute
of Chemical Engineers), one book chapter, 24 peer-reviewed journal articles,
close to 70 conference presentations, and numerous project reports (see the list of
publications to appear later).
He has been invited to referee for eight scientific journals.
He is a Certified Consulting Meteorologist, a certification program administered
by the American Meteorological Society (AMS).
He co-chairs the AMS ad hoc Committee on Climate and Climate Change
Consulting Certification. He is a former board member of the AMS Board of
Certified Consulting Meteorologists and the AMS Committee on Meteorological
Aspects of Air Pollution.
He is a former affiliate research professor at GMU and advised two doctoral
students.
He participated in many litigation projects serving as an expert in dispersion
modeling.
