Associate Teaching Professor, Engineering
and Public Policy, and Physics
High
technology, biotechnology, information technology,
and their impact on security and the economy; and
mathematical modeling for policy analysis (complex
systems, stochastic processes).
Baccalaureat
(Physics) 1966, Diplome de Physique (Physics) 1971,
and
Ph.D. (Theoretical High Energy Physics) 1976, University
of Geneva, Switzerland.
Carnegie
Mellon, 1987 -.
Since
earning his Ph.D., Dr. Morel has held appointments
in physics at Harvard University as a Post-Doctoral
Fellow, at CERN and University of Geneva, and at California
Institute of Technology. His main subjects of interest
were grand unified theories (supergravity in particular)
and their underlying mathematical structure.
After
attending Caltech, he went to Stanford as a Science
Fellow in arms control. There, he pursued research
in the security implications and the technology of
anti-ballistic missile defense.
Dr. Morel
joined the faculty at Carnegie Mellon University in
1987 in the Department of Engineering and Public Policy,
with the Program on International Peace and Security.
At Carnegie Mellon, his research interests have focused
on military high technology, its technical details
and structure, and its impact on security and arms
control, as well as its effects on American defense
policy.
Dr. Morel
is also interested in non-linear dynamic models, and
the study of complex systems and chaos, with application
to a variety of areas, such as immunology, fluid mechanics,
organization theory, economics, pollution, and environment.
