It includes research centers such as UC San Diego and work performed by the region's large defense industry. Stefan Savage, a noted cyber security expert at UCSD, said academic research is less vulnerable to a change in SpaWar operations than business activities, because SpaWar typically passes along money already allocated to a par... dbkane@soe.ucsd.edu (Daniel Kane) http://www.nctimes.com/business/article_2bb1ebf4-ad19-11de-bd98-001cc4c03286.html UC San Diego Jacobs School News: Press Clips Press Clips Tue, 29 Sep 2009 00:00:00 PDT http://www3.signonsandiego.com/stories/2009/sep/20/ucsd-becoming-lab-energy-innovation/ On a roof overlooking a parking garage at the University of California San Diego, Byron Washom pulls out his laptop and calls up an in-house Web site.
