- Title:
Using Technology to Keep Other Countries Honest
- Abstract:
This talk presents an historical view of how signal processing
technology has been used to provide the intelligence needed to protect
nations from one another. Examples from the First World War through the
Cold War are used to illustrate the impact that technical intelligence
collection can have in the verification of treaties meant to prevent war
and, where necessary, in the conduct of war.
- Biography:
John Treichler received his BA and MEE degrees from Rice University, Houston, TX in 1970 and his PhDEE from Stanford in 1977. He served as a line officer in the US Navy from 1970 to 1974. In 1977 he joined ARGOSystems in Sunnyvale CA and then helped found Applied Signal Technology, Inc. in 1984 after serving for a year as an Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering at Cornell University. Applied Signal Technology designs and builds advanced signal processing equipment which is used by the United States Government and its allies for foreign intelligence collection. He is currently their Chief Technical Officer and a member of its board of directors. He was elected a Fellow in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 1991 and was awarded the IEEE Signal Processing Society's Technical Achievement Award in 2000.
