Dr. Mark RoskerProgram Manager
Dr. Mark J. Rosker joined the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency in July 2003. He received his B.S. degree in Physics from the California Institute of Technology in 1981, and his M.S. (1983) and Ph.D. (1987) degrees in Applied and Engineering Physics from Cornell University. Dr. Rosker came to DARPA from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, CA, where he has been a member of the Submillimeter Wave Advanced Technology Group. From 1986 to 1989, he was a postdoctoral Research Fellow at Caltech, where he performed fundamental studies (cited in the 1999 Nobel Prize in Chemistry) observing the dynamics of unimolecular chemical reactions in real-time.
Dr. Rosker joined the Rockwell Scientific Co. (RSC), Thousand Oaks, CA, in 1989. His technical work there began in the Applied Optics Department, where he conducted research in the area of nonlinear optics, including photorefractive oscillators and visible and infrared frequency conversion materials and devices, time-domain spectroscopy of optical materials, and optical power limiters. He subsequently joined and eventually became the manager of the Device Chemistry Department within the Materials Science Division at RSC. In 1999, he was named manager of the Microwave and Photonics Department (now called RF Circuits and Applications) within RSC's Electronics Division. This group is well known for its pioneering development of millimeter wave quasi-optics, GaAs PHEMT and InP HEMT MMICs, photonic bandgap-based millimeter wave waveguides, and electronically scanned antenna technologies.
Dr. Rosker is the author of more than 70 technical papers and conference proceedings.
