Trump Picks Meteorologist As Top Scientific Adviser
AUGUST 1, 2018
Kelvin Droegemeier將會是第一個沒有物理學學位的人來領導科學及科技政策辦公室。
Kelvin Droegemeier would be the first person without a degree in physics to lead the Office of Science and Technology Policy.

President Trump nominated a new top adviser for scientific issues, establishing permanent leadership at the Office of Science and Technology Policy.

The White House announced late Tuesday that Kelvin Droegemeier, vice president for research and professor of meteorology at the University of Oklahoma, would be the next OSTP director and the government’s top chief technology officer.

The director’s office has been vacant since the beginning of the Trump administration, more than 19 months, the longest stretch any president has gone without a scientific adviser since OSTP was established in 1976. In the interim, the office has been run by acting Director Michael Kratsios, who also serves as deputy U.S. CTO and assistant to the president.

Along with his positions at the University of Oklahoma, Droegemeier also serves as the state secretary of science and technology, a cabinet position in Oklahoma. Prior to that, he worked for the National Science Foundation for 12 years before serving as vice chair of the foundation’s National Science Board for three years under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama.


He is the cofounder and a former director of the National Science Foundation’s Science and Technology Center for Analysis and Prediction of Storms and the Engineering Research Center for Collaborative Adaptive Sensing of the Atmosphere.
