DETER's Bob Braden – USC Information Sciences Institute Fellow leading efforts in DeterLab capabilities for experimentation in critical cyber security infrastructure – was awarded NASPI's (North American SynchroPhasor Initiative) Data & Network Management Task Team Most Valuable Player Award. Department of Energy Deputy Assistant Secretary David Ortiz and NASPI Project Manager Alison Silverstein recognized Bob and several other significant contributors in the synchrophasor community on October 22, 2014. The NASPI Awards were created to recognize some of the individuals and organizations whose work has advanced the deployment and value realization of synchrophasor technology. NASPI says of Bob, "[he] ...has led the DNMTT survey team in attempting to determine current synchrophasor communications network characteristics and evolving needs, and leading inquiry into how information technology advances can be applied to benefit synchrophasor data networks and analysis."
