Biography
In recent RAND research for the U.S. Department of Defense, Dr. Galama has researched the current and future condition of Science and Technology (S&T), Innovation and Education in the U.S. and the perceived U.S. decline in S&T as a result of globalization, the significant rise of other innovation-oriented nations (e.g., China), and disinvestment at home. Dr. Galama has also initiated and led a RAND study on the key success factors of the world's top twenty universities.
