Dr. Philip Kronenberg was a professor of public policy at CPAP and directed Policy Systems Management Studies in Northern Virginia (since 1983).

He was co-founder (with Gary Wamsley) of CPAP in Blacksburg in 1977, when he joined the University on the Blacksburg campus where he taught until he requested to have his position moved to the Northern Virginia Center of the University in 1983.

During his years of service at Virginia Tech, he taught courses in theory and methodology, organization theory, public policy, and technoscience policy. Earlier, he served on the faculties of Indiana University (Bloomington), The University of Tennessee (Knoxville), and as a Visiting Research Professor at the U.S. Air War College. He earned a BS in economics and political science at Bradley University and an MA in Economics at the Maxwell School of Syracuse University. He took his Ph.D. in Public and International Affairs at the University of Pittsburgh. He served as an officer in the U.S. Air Force 1960-63.

He has published four books and a number of chapters and articles and conference papers on homeland security, program evaluation, national security policy, technology policy, strategic management, and public policy theory in the context of chaos and complexity. His recent research interests have focused on the strategic management of public policy in circumstances of nonlinear transformation and the policy dynamics associated with homeland security initiatives and the conduct of the war against terrorism. He is currently working on a theoretical study of organizing and leadership in multiplex networks.

His recent honors include: James E. Webb Award of the American Society for Public Administration (2003), Virginia Tech University Outstanding Dissertation Advisor in the Social Sciences (2005-6), and a Certificate for Excellence in Teaching Award of the College of Architecture and Urban Studies (2006).

Photography by Philip Kronenberg

A persistently "under construction" project which displays some of the images from my lifelong fascination with "the art of fixing a shadow" and my modest efforts as a committed amateur photographer. The most recently posted gallery is my "Holland" gallery.       Other galleries reflecting my interests in nature's landscape,  wildlife, different cultures,  people and sport will follow in the next several months.
