Justin J. Brooke- Biography
Dr. Justin J. Brooke became the Assistant Head of the ISR and Tactical Systems Division in February 2013.
Prior to this position, he was the Leader of the Advanced Capabilities and Systems Group and the emphasis of his research and development work is on counterinsurgency technology.
Dr. Brooke joined MIT Lincoln Laboratory in 2003 as member of the technical staff in the Systems and Analysis Group, where he analyzed GPS interference susceptibility and longwave infrared target detection performance.
In 2004, the emphasis of his research shifted to developing, prototyping, and integrating novel counterinsurgency sensor technology for both traditional and unmanned tactical air and ground systems. In 2007, he became Assistant Leader of the Advanced Capabilities and Systems Group, and then became the Associate Leader in 2009. Today, he leads the Advanced Capabilities and Systems Group, which seeks to provide innovative and rapid solutions to critical national problems through systems analysis, modeling, measurement, and system prototyping.
Dr. Brooke completed his undergraduate work at Cornell University in 1995, majoring in physics and graduating cum laude. He received a PhD in physics from the University of Chicago in 2000, researching quantum phase transitions. His post-doctoral research stretched from the University of Chicago to Caltech, where he used molecular epitaxy to study such phenomena as spintronics and avalanche photodiodes.
