Multi X Office
Todd Bauer, Ph.D., is a program manager in the Multi X Office (MXO). He joined DARPA in January 2023. His professional interests include radiation-hardened microsystems, microsystems fabrication, and supply chain assurance.
Bauer serves as a distinguished member of technical staff in the Microsystems Engineering, Science and Applications (MESA) Complex at Sandia National Laboratories. At Sandia, he’s developed technologies ranging from sensors to security, while also serving as a process and integration engineer in MESA’s microfabrication facilities.
Education
- Ph.D., Chemical and Nuclear Engineering, University of New Mexico
His graduate research focus was low-temperature plasmas for materials processing.
Ideas under incubation
- Photonic Reconfigurable Inference and Scalable Module: Can we develop a scalable, general-purpose 3D optoelectronic platform for energy-efficient, high-density parallel computation? What are the technology enablers to improve scaling, compute density, and energy efficiency with photonic integrated circuits?
