Roderick Jones Joins Us As Contributing Expert

By Andrew Cochran

We are pleased to welcome Roderick Jones to CTB as a Contributing Expert. Roderick is a former member of the UK’s Special Branch (now Counter-Terrorism Command) and is currently Vice President of Concentric Solutions, a security consultancy. His professional focus has been largely on terrorism, but he has also concentrated on wider issues of intelligence and security policy through PhD work with Peter Hennessy at the University of London (interrupted by 9/11).

Roderick’s current interest is the intersection of technology, security and innovation. He will also post on terrorism events and counter-terrorism policies in the UK.

Roderick wrote a concept paper on the use of Massive Multi-player Online Role Playing Games (MMPORGs) by terrorists, which I posted on March 1 as "MetaTerror: The Potential Use of MMORPGs by Terrorists." That post drew numerous reactions in the Internet and broader tech community, resulting in my follow-up on March 12.

Roderick has a Master’s degree in History from the University of Cambridge. He can be reached at roderick.jones@gmail.com. We look forward to his contributions.
