Dr. Joseph Guerci, IEEE Fellow

Dr. Guerci has over 23 years of experience in advanced technology research
and development in government, industrial, and academic settings. His
government service included a recent 7 year term with the Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in which he held the positions of Program
Manager, Deputy Office Director, and finally Office Director of the Special
Projects Office (SPO). In these capacities, Dr. Guerci was involved in the
inception, research, development, execution, and ultimately transition of
next generation defense technologies for surveillance and reconnaissance,
protection against weapons of mass destruction (WMD), tactical missile
defense, space defense, and assured urban operations.

Dr. Guerci is an internationally recognized leader in the research and
development of next generation sensor systems and adaptive signal
processing. In particular, he has pioneered several major radar technologies
including Robust and Knowledge-Aided Space-Time Adaptive Processing, and
Optimal MIMO Waveform Optimization. In addition to authoring over 80 peer
reviewed articles, he has two book chapters and is the author of Space-Time
Adaptive Processing for Radar (Artech House, 2003). Dr. Eli Brookner, one of
the world's foremost radar engineers and authors had this to say: "If you
ever wanted to learn about STAP, this is the book to read. The complex made
simple!" Dr. Guerci also recently received the 2007 IEEE Warren D. White
Award for "Contributions to Space-Time Adaptive Processing and Waveform
Optimization".

A graduate of Polytechnic University with a PhDEE (System Engineering), Dr.
Guerci has also held adjunct professorships in engineering and applied
mathematics at The City University of New York, Polytechnic University, The
Cooper Union for Advancement of Art and Science, and Virginia Tech.
Additionally, he has held senior engineer and scientist positions in
industry and was recently Chief Technology Officer (CTO) for SAIC's
Research, Development, Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) Group. A member of the IEEE
Radar Systems panel, he is also a Fellow of the IEEE for "Contributions to
Advanced Radar Theory and its Embodiment in Real-World Systems", and holds
eight US Patents. Dr. Guerci is also currently a Member of both the National
Security Agency (NSA) Advisory Board's (NSAAB) Scientific Advisory Panel for
ELINT, and the Air Force Scientific Advisory Board (AFRL/SN '08).
