Recent Innovations at Lincoln Laboratory
Abstract:
Lincoln Laboratory is a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) run by MIT to develop new technology for national security needs. Lincoln Laboratory has a strong focus on designing and building full-scale advanced technology and system prototypes for transition to industry or operational needs. Recent examples of full-scale prototypes include the ground and space laser communications terminals that enabled the world's fastest data download from the
Moon to Earth; the highest-resolution long-range microwave radar for imaging satellites in orbit; and a beam-combined, all-electric ber laser that achieved the highest brightness ever recorded. Dr. Evans will discuss recent innovations at Lincoln Laboratory and the technology challenges for current and future projects.
Bio:
Dr. Eric D. Evans is the Director of MIT Lincoln Laboratory, a multidisciplinary Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) run by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for the Department of Defense. As Director, he is responsible for the Laboratory's strategic direction and overall technical and administrative operations. Dr. Evans has worked as a radar design engineer for the Navy's Radar Surveillance Technology Experimental Radar (RSTER) program. His work included the development of antenna and microwave components, adaptive signal processing algorithms, and low cross-section targets for a new adaptive array radar for fleet defense. Dr. Evans is a Fellow of the IEEE, a Fellow of the AIAA, and a member of the National Academy of Engineering. He is the author of over 50 journal and conference publications. In 1996, he and his co-authors received the M. Barry Carlton Award from the IEEE Aerospace and Electronics Systems Society for a paper on advanced radar signal processing. Dr. Evans holds B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from The Ohio State University.
