Brief Biography
Ronald F. DeMara received the Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering with High Honors from Lehigh University in 1987, the Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park in 1989, and the Ph.D. degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Southern California in 1992. Since 1993, he has been a full-time faculty member at the University of Central Florida and is a Professor in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. He has also served as Associate Chair of the UCF ECE Department and Computer Engineering Program Coordinator. He was previously an Associate Engineer at IBM Federal and Complex Systems Division from 1986 through 1989 and also a Visiting Research Scientist at NASA Ames Research Center during his 2001 sabbatical year.
Dr. DeMara's research interests are in Computer Architecture with emphasis on Evolvable Hardware and Distributed Architectures for Intelligent Systems. He is the editor of two books and has approximately 100 publications in-print and/or online on these topics. His research has been sponsored by the National Science Foundation; NASA; 6 different branches of the U.S. Army, Navy, and Department of Defense; National Security Agency; Harris Computer Systems; Lockheed Martin Information Systems; Theseus Logic Incorporated, and others. Research funding of $4.2M as PI or co-PI has led to the completion as advisor of 26 students with thesis or dissertation, of which 6 are now university faculty including 2 whom themselves are tenured. At UCF, he has taught 13 different courses including 6 new courses he introduced into the curriculum.
