Biography

Chip Elliott is Chief Engineer at BBN Technologies and Project Director for GENI, a national-scale experimental facility being created by the National Science Foundation for "clean slate" network research. He is an AAAS Fellow and IEEE Fellow with over 85 patents issued and pending. Mr. Elliott led DARPA's design and build-out of the world's first quantum cryptography network - 10 optical nodes across metro Boston providing highly secure key distribution non-stop through both telecom fibers and the atmosphere - as well as the design and implementation of large-scale, mission-critical "ad hoc" radio networks now used in nearly a dozen nations including the United States, UK, and Canada. For his leadership in quantum cryptography he was given Frost & Sullivan's Award for Excellence in Technology (2005) and named a World Technology Award Finalist (2004) and Fellow. Mr. Elliott has served on many national panels and has held visiting faculty positions at Dartmouth College, Tunghai University in Taiwan, and the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur.
