Since the invention of the transistor in 1947 and the integrated circuit in 1958, microchips have fueled scientific advancements, manufacturing innovations, and economic growth. Today, DARPA’s Microsystems Technology Office (MTO) will advance the next generation of microsystems to disrupt the underlying technology, disrupt current manufacturing, and create new markets. This requires unique insight to discover fundamentally new ways of creating advanced circuits that will dramatically alter and exceed the current state-of-the-art in microsystems. This will involve:
-
Using the power of light at the microscale in three dimensions with advanced photonics;
-
Harnessing quantum mechanical phenomena for sensors and computers that break traditional classical limits;
-
Developing a toolbox of organic and biological molecules and hybrid bioelectronics that will leverage living system phenomena and connect back to traditional microsystems;
-
And advancing technologies for affordable, rapid, and sustainable microsystems fabrication to enable a new domestic manufacturing ecosystem that leverages commercial scaling and drives strong economic growth.
Join Dr. Whitney Mason to learn about how DARPA is reimagining microsystems, and upcoming opportunities to engage with DARPA in this effort.

Dr. Whitney Mason
Biography:
Whitney Mason, PhD, is director of the Microsystems Technology Office (MTO) at DARPA.
Previously, she held the deputy director role in the agency’s Strategic Technology Office (STO) from 2022 - 2023. Prior to joining STO, Mason served as a program manager in MTO from 2017 - 2022.
Her research interests include imaging sensors that provide multifunction capability. In particular, she is interested in novel device structures, optics, and electronics that enable new capabilities compared to current state-of-the-art imaging systems.
Mason joined DARPA from the Army C5ISR Center, formerly the Army Communications-Electronics Research, Development and Engineering Center, where she was the director of the Science and Technology Division within the Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate at Fort Belvoir, Virginia. In that role, she led a team of scientists and engineers in the pursuit of new and improved focal plane array materials and devices; advanced read-out circuits; and enhanced optical materials and designs, lasers, and image processing.
Education
PhD, Physics, University of Oklahoma
BS, Physics, Georgetown University
