Speaking at the recent the "Biology is Technology" symposium, Geoff Ling, Director of DARPA’s Biological Technologies Office (BTO), explains how careers with DARPA offer the possibility to pursue breakthroughs that drive technological revolutions and have profound impacts on people’s lives. |
The energetic and candid Dr. Geoffrey Ling is the founding director of the DARPA Biological Technologies Office. He began his DARPA service in 2004 as a Program Manager in the Defense Sciences Office (DSO). He created and managed a broad research portfolio, spanning neuroscience, infectious disease, pharmacology, and battlefield medicine.
His Revolutionizing Prosthetics program developed advanced arm prostheses controlled either non-invasively or directly by a user’s brain. His Preventing Violent Explosive Neuro Trauma program developed new understanding and treatment of blast-induced traumatic brain injury (TBI).
