Thomas Kalil – Wiki, Bio, Age, Wife, Net Worth

Leaving government at the end of the Clinton administration, Kalil became a Senior Fellow with the Center for American Progress, and later Special Assistant to the Chancellor for Science and Technology at the University of California, Berkeley. There, he developed multi-disciplinary research initiatives, most of them at the interfaces among information technology, nanotechnology, and biology. He served on several committees of the National Academy of Sciences. From 2007–2008, Kalil chaired the Clinton Global Initiative’s Global Health Working Group. That group developed new initiatives in areas including under-nutrition, maternal and child health, and vaccines.

In 1995 Kalil married MaryAnne McCormick, a former legislative aide to Senator Daniel P. Moynihan. McCormick was, at the time, a lobbyist for Corning Inc. and was later an attorney at the Federal Communications Commission. He is the brother of behavioral economist Ariel Kalil.

Kalil is the son of Ronald and Katherine Kalil, both professors at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health in Madison. He earned a bachelor’s degree in political science and international economics from the University of Wisconsin at Madison. Kalil completed graduate work at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy. Kalil worked in the issues departments on two Democratic presidential campaigns, 1988 and 1992. His work included writing position papers and briefing the candidate on a wide range of policy issues, experiences he later described as being “like boot camp for policy wonks.”

Thomas Amadeus Kalil (born October 4, 1963) is an expert on technology and innovation policy, and Deputy Director for Policy for the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. He was also the Senior Advisor for Science, Technology and Innovation for the United States National Economic Council.
