Dr. Guerci has over 35 years of experience in advanced technology research and development in government, industrial, and academic settings. His government service included a 7 year term with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in which he held the positions of Program Manager, Deputy Office Director, and finally Director of the Special Projects Office (SPO, SES-4). In these capacities, Dr. Guerci was involved in the inception, research, development, execution, and ultimately transition of next generation multidisciplinary technologies. He is currently President/CEO of Information Systems Laboratories, Inc., a global leader in sensor technologies, energy, and modeling/simulation/training systems (www.islinc.com ). He is also a Special Government Employee (SGE) for the US Army Science Board.

Dr. Guerci is a recognized leader in the research and development of next generation sensor and communication systems. In addition to authoring over 100 peer reviewed articles, he is the author of several popular books including Space-Time Adaptive Processing for Radar (Artech House, 2003, 2nd Ed. 2014), and the recently published Cognitive Radar, (Artech House, 2010, 2nd Ed. 2020). Dr. Guerci is the recipient of the IEEE Dennis J Picard Medal (2020, the highest award in the field of radar) "For contributions to advanced, fully adaptive radar systems and real-time knowledge-aided, and cognitive radar processing architectures", and the IEEE Warren D. White Award for “Excellence in Radar Adaptive Processing and Waveform Diversity”, and is a Life Fellow of the IEEE for “Contributions to Advanced Radar Theory and its Embodiment in Real-World Systems”. He was also the General Chair for the 2015 IEEE International Radar Conference, and currently is the Radar Series Editor for Artech House publishers, a member of the Senior Editorial Board for the IEEE Signal Processing Magazine, and is a Distinguished Industry Lecturer (2020) for the IEEE Signal Processing Society.

A graduate of NYU Polytechnic Institute with a Ph.D.E.E (now Tanden School of Engineering), Dr. Guerci has held adjunct professorships in engineering and applied mathematics at The City University of New York, NYU Polytechnic University, The Cooper Union for Advancement of Art and Science, and Virginia Tech. Additionally, he has held senior engineer and scientist positions in industry and was Chief Technology Officer (CTO) for SAIC’s $2B+/year RDT&E Group, and is currently a member of several industrial, academic, and government advisory boards.
