Hilo Professor Stephen C. Hora was named director of the Center for Risk and Economic Analysis of Terrorism Events at the University of Southern California.
CREATE was established in 2004 by the Department of Homeland Security and is the nation’s first Center of Excellence supporting research in response to the threat of terrorism to be based at a university. The center is tasked with developing predictive models to gauge how and where terrorist events might occur, calculating their economic consequences and identifying the nation’s vulnerabilities. Hora said he looks forward to his new responsibilities with mixed emotions.
Hora has served as a professor of management science and statistics at Hilo since 1985. He was also interim vice chancellor for academic affairs from 2005 to 2007 and interim dean for the College of Arts and Sciences from 2003 to 2004.
