Dr. Victoria Coleman, an artificial intelligence and microelectronics specialist, has been named director of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the Pentagon’s secretive research arm.
Coleman will be the third woman to head DARPA since its creation in 1958, following Regina Dugan, who served as director from July 2009 until March 2012, and Dr. Arati Prabhakar, who left the agency in 2017.
Coleman had been serving as chief executive officer of Atlas AI, which offers what it calls “cutting-edge artificial intelligence†to analyze trends in developing countries.
