ASTM International has published a new Q&A interview with Cassy Robinson, 2025 chair of ASTM’s board of directors, who shares insights about her career in the field of personal protection and homeland security.

Robinson, chair of the committee on homeland security applications (E54) and vice chair of three E54 subcommittees, is also a member of the committee on personal protective clothing and equipment (F23). In the Q&A, she reflects on her decades of work in standards, and how standards have supported search-and-rescue technology. She also shares her predictions on the most important technologies—including robots and drones—being developed in the fields of homeland security and public safety.
