John Main
DARPA Program Manager

Biography
Dr. John Main has spent his career developing new technologies and businesses. He is currently a Program Manager in the Defense Sciences Office at DARPA where he is responsible for initiating new DARPA programs in the physical sciences and fostering the R&D communities that will support those programs. This is Dr. Main’s second tour as a DARPA Program Manager. His first tour at DARPA began in 2002 and resulted in programs in a broad range of technical areas including biologically inspired materials, fast and efficient human-powered swimming, rapid rooftop access, small-scale power generation, GPS-denied underwater navigation, and human exoskeletons for increased warfighter endurance.

After his initial DARPA tour of duty, Dr. Main worked at technology startup Intific Inc., initially as an Executive Producer developing software products and ultimately as the company’s first Chief Operating Officer. In the COO role he led teams performing general business operations, initial design of software products, proposal development, and contracting. He served in this role through Intific’s merger with Cubic Corporation and after the merger took on the role of Vice President and Chief Scientist.

Note
Dr. Main will be available for a few one-on-one or small group meetings.  If you would like to be included on his schedule please let Dr. Alison Flatau know your availability to meet with Dr. Main and she will try to accommodate as many requests as she can (email Dr. Flatau at: aflatau@umd.edu).
