Biography:
Michael V. Carpenter is relationship manager for Energy Water Nexus and Water Security programs at Idaho National Laboratory, active in support development of the Water Technologies user facility, which integrates crossover research for water security. He has been active in building collaboration between INL, EPA, DHS, DOD, AWWA and universities to expand Water Security Test Bed Program research. He is the manager of special projects for bio-agent and chemical terror threat scenario testing. Since 2007, he has managed three collaborative exercises and training scenarios conducted at the INL PBF-632 center. He was on a team that won an R&D 100 Award in 2009 for its water sample concentrator.
