Dr. Rosa Alejandra Lukaszew

Defense Sciences Office (DSO)

Program Manager

Dr. Rosa Alejandra “Ale” Lukaszew joined DARPA as a program manager in the Defense Sciences Office in January 2017. Her current research interests include understanding and developing new materials, structures, and devices incorporating strongly correlated electrons–particularly exploiting topological correlations to create pathways to new paradigms in electronics for applications in memory, logic, energy conversion devices, and sensors.

The emergent understanding of topological phenomena, along with discoveries of topological excitations in materials, offers great opportunities to extend the storage/logic device roadmap beyond current state of the art.

Dr. Lukaszew comes to DARPA from the College of William and Mary, where she is the Distinguished Virginia Microelectronics Consortium (VMEC) professor of physics. The VMEC consists of industrial partners and academics from the state of Virginia working and/or conducting research on materials of interest in microelectronics and their applications. Previously, she was a faculty member of the physics department at the University of Toledo, Ohio. Early in her career, she was a research scientist at the Argentine National Atomic Commission (CNEA) in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Dr. Lukaszew holds a Licenciatura degree from the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina; and a doctorate from Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan. She has received several awards, published more than 100 manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals, edited a book on nano-magnetism and holds two patents. Dr. Lukaszew completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, and she is an AVS fellow.

    Programs

    Accelerated Computation for Efficient Scientific Simulation (ACCESS)
    The ultimate goal of the DARPA Accelerated Computation for Efficient Scientific Simulation (ACCESS) is to demonstrate new, specialized benchtop technology that can solve large problems in complex physical systems on the hour timescale, compared to existing methods that require full cluster-scale supercomputing resources and take weeks to months. The core principle of the program is to leverage advances in optics, MEMS, additive manufacturing, and other emerging technologies to develop new non-traditional hybrid analog and digital computational means.
    Driven and Nonequilibrium Quantum Systems (DRINQS)
    DRINQS is a fundamental science program that aims to investigate a recent paradigm shift in quantum research, which maintains that periodically driving a system out of equilibrium may increase the length of time that its quantum state endures. DRINQS aims to investigate this phenomenon and demonstrate significant gains over conventional states in timekeeping, field sensing, and information processing for use in national security applications.
    Program in Ultrafast Laser Science and Engineering (PULSE)
    Defense applications, such as geo-location, navigation, communication, coherent imaging and radar, depend on the generation and transmission of stable, agile electromagnetic radiation. Improved radiation sources—for example, lower noise microwaves or higher flux x-rays—could enhance existing capabilities and enable entirely new technologies.
    Topological Excitations in Electronics (TEE)
    The Topological Excitations in Electronics program aims to demonstrate the utility of topological excitations in various applications including memory, logic, sensors, and quantum information processing. Developing the ability to design materials with new controllable functionalities is crucial for the future of the Nation’s economic, energy, and defense security.
    Virtual Intelligence Processing (VIP)
    Successful integration of next generation AI into DoD applications must be able to deal with incomplete, sparse and noisy data as well as unexpected circumstances that might arise while solving real world problems. Thus, there is a need for new computing models that are efficient and robust, can learn new concepts with very few examples, and can guide the development of adequate novel hardware to support them.

    Selected DARPA Achievements

    DARPA collaborated with industry on stealth technology.
    DARPA’s Stealth Revolution
    In the early days of DARPA’s work on stealth technology, Have Blue, a prototype of what would become the F-117A, first flew successfully in 1977. The success of the F-117A program marked the beginning of the stealth revolution, which has had enormous benefits for national security.
    DARPA microelectronics gave rise to today's GPS devices.
    Navigation in the Palm of Your Hand
    Early GPS receivers were bulky, heavy devices. In 1983, DARPA set out to miniaturize them, leading to a much broader adoption of GPS capability.
    First rough conceptual design of the ARPANET.
    Paving the Way to the Modern Internet
    ARPA research played a central role in launching the Information Revolution. The agency developed and furthered much of the conceptual basis for the ARPANET—prototypical communications network launched nearly half a century ago—and invented the digital protocols that gave birth to the Internet.
