Harnessing Complexity

Dr. Fariba Fahroo joined DSO as a program manager in 2014. Her current interests expand across the areas of computational math and control theory, design and quantification uncertainty, distributed, multi-agent control and estimation, and computational control theory.

Dr. John S. Paschkewitz joined DARPA as a program manager in April 2015. He is interested in new paradigms and approaches for the interactive design of complex physical systems and system-of-systems (SoS) architectures.

Dr. Michael Fiddy joined DARPA as a program manager in the Defense Sciences Office in September 2016. His current interests include fundamental studies of wave-matter interactions from RF to visible light frequencies. Advancing scattering and inverse scattering methods for multiple scattering media leads to new imaging techniques and tools to synthesize 2-D and 3-D materials and structures, including those with sub-wavelength features.

Dr. Reza Ghanadan joined DARPA in 2013 as a program manager in the Defense Sciences Office. He has interests in data analytics, autonomy, machine learning and artificial intelligence in information and cyber-physical systems. At DARPA, he has been investigating the mathematical foundations and applications of these technologies to complex science and engineering problems, ranging from precision genomics and neuroscience, to robotics and human-machine collaboration.

Dr. D. Tyler McQuade joined DARPA as a program manager in the Defense Sciences Office in 2013. In his current DARPA role as a Program Manager he is overseeing programs in the physical sciences area. Current programs tend to be process oriented and range from surface coatings to small molecule synthesis.
