In this position he provides the senior leadership and oversight of all Department of Defense science and technology programs in the areas of information technology; cyber security; autonomy; high performance computing and advanced computing; software and embedded systems; networks and communications; and large data and data-enabled decision making tools. He also has cognizance over the complete spectrum of efforts in computers and software technology, communications, information assurance, and information management and distribution. Dr. Linderman was commissioned as a second lieutenant in May 1980. Upon completing four years of graduate studies, he entered active-duty, teaching computer architecture courses and leading related research at the Air Force Institute of Technology. He was assigned to Rome Air Development Center in 1988, where he led surveillance signal processing architecture activities. In 1991, he transitioned from active-duty to civil service as a senior electronics engineer at Rome Laboratory, becoming a principal engineer in 1997. During these years, he pioneered three dimensional packaging of embedded architectures and led the Department of Defense community exploring signal and image processing applications of high performance computers. He conceived and demonstrated the use of PS3 gaming consoles to architect supercomputers with outstanding affordability and power efficiency. Dr. Linderman holds seven U.S. patents with three pending U.S. Patent Applications and has published more than 90 journal, conference and technical papers.
