The trailblazers in human, academic, scientific and religious freedom have always been in the minority… It will take such a small committed minority to work unrelentingly to win the uncommitted majority. Such a group may transform America’s greatest dilemma into her most glorious opportunity.
Background
Christopher Rose is a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Rutgers University and a founding member of WINLAB. He earned his SB, SM, and PhD in electrical engineering and computer science from MIT.
Interests
Rose’s research interests have included novel mobile communications networks, applications of genetic algorithms to control problems in communications networks and interference avoidance methods using universal radios to foster peaceful coexistence in what will be the wireless ecology of the 5GHz U-NII bands. As an outgrowth of research on opportunistic communications, he also considers the details of a problem everyone has wondered about at one time or another: how will our first extraterrestrial civilization contact occur?
Rose’s current passion is thinking about ways to make the under-represented minority (URM) STEM professoriat dramatically larger by developing academic cohorts whose technical breadth, social consciousness and natural cohesion (all typical URM characteristics) can provide an especially keen vantage point from which to formulate and attack high-profile, high impact problems of great interest to society.
