Dr. Yiftach Eisenberg is the deputy director of the Microsystems Technology Office (MTO). In that role, Dr. Eisenberg helps set the strategic vision for the office, recruits program managers (PMs) who are leaders in their respective fields, and provides the oversight and guidance required to empower the PMs to drive the creation of breakthrough technology for national security. A strategic thrust within DARPA, which Dr. Eisenberg initiated and actively oversees, is the development of novel computational architectures for next-generation Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML). This strategic thrust explores the intersection of computational hardware and software algorithms to enable low-power, real-time AI at the tactical edge.
From July 2009 to September 2014, prior to becoming the MTO deputy director, Dr. Eisenberg served as a PM in DARPA’s Information Innovation Office (I2O). In that capacity, he helped pioneer the field of cognitive electronic warfare (EW), enabling U.S. EW systems to automatically learn to counter enemy radars and communication systems whose waveforms can be changed rapidly or have not been encountered before. He also ran the DARPA Spectrum Challenge, a first-of-its-kind competition that engaged universities, small businesses, and individuals in exploring novel ways to help radios share the electromagnetic spectrum without prior coordination or pre-planning. Dr. Eisenberg’s research interests include signal processing, machine learning, computer vision, and wireless communications.
From 2005 to 2009, Dr. Eisenberg was a Principal Scientist at BAE Systems, Advanced Systems & Technology, where he developed and managed several internally and externally funded programs in the areas of communications and radio frequency signal exploitation. In 2000, he was a visiting researcher at Motorola Labs in Schaumburg, IL.
Dr. Eisenberg earned his Ph.D. (2004) and M.S. (2001) from Northwestern University and his B.S. (1999) from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, all in electrical engineering. He has published extensively, including more than 30 journal articles and conference papers, in the area of signal processing and communications. Dr. Eisenberg is a Senior Member of the IEEE.
