Abstract

This paper describes both Carolyn Talcott's technical and leadership contributions to formal methods, cryptographic protocol analysis, and systems biology. Carolyn has played a vitally important leadership role in protocol analysis through her signicant research and bringing together leading members of the protocol analysis community. Her efforts have resulted in a unified, cohesive, and flexible foundation for the interoperation of maturing tools and techniques for designing and evaluating a wide range of protocols. As the leader of the Symbolic Systems Technology Group at SRI she has been a visionary manager with exceptionally strong technical skills who has guided, advised and mentored numerous scientists in the use of formal methods and other computational tools for modeling or solving diverse biological problems in cancer biology, signal transduction research, neuroscience, and infectious disease research.
