Communications and Networks

Dr. Daniel Patt is a program manager in DARPA’s Tactical Technology Office (TTO). His technical specialty areas include advanced automation, system autonomy, human-machine teaming, human augmentation, machine perception, actuation and robotics, guidance and adaptive control, knowledge engineering, machine learning, systems engineering, system dynamics, platform design and aircraft technology.

Dr. Joseph B. Evans joined DARPA in June 2015 as a program manager in the Strategic Technology Office. His interests include advanced networking and communications technologies with an emphasis on large-scale wireless, dynamic and cross-domain systems.

Dr. Ted K. Woodwardjoined DARPA in January 2015 as program manager in the Strategic Technology Office. Dr. Woodward has a background in optical and radio frequency (RF) devices, systems and networks for diverse applications. His research interests generally concern the use of optical and RF technology for sensing and communications, and include high-capacity networked systems in particular. Relevant technologies include photonics, millimeter wave RF, distributed coherent signaling (e.g., multiple-input and multiple-output,MIMO), signal processing methods and host platforms, and networking.

Dr. Karr joined DARPA as a Program Manager in June 2012. His areas of interest include ISR and EW technologies and systems, optical LPD/LPI sensing and communication, new weapon technologies and effects, weapon and ISR countermeasures and counter-countermeasures, space control, and the integration of space with tactical systems.

Dr. Tom Rondeau joined DARPA as a program manager in the Microsystems Technology Office in May 2016. His research interests include adaptive and reconfigurable radios, improving the development cycle for new signal-processing techniques, and creating general purpose electromagnetic systems.
