Daniel W. Bliss (Fellow of the IEEE) is the Motorola Endowed Professor at Arizona State University in the School of Electrical, Computer, and Energy Engineering; the Director of ASU’s Center for Wireless Information Systems and Computational Architectures (WISCA); and the President and CEO of DASH Tech Integrated Circuits, Inc.

Dan received his Ph.D. and M.S. in Physics from the University of California at San Diego (1997 and 1995), and his B.S. in Electrical Engineering from ASU (1989). Dan received the 2021 IEEE Warren D. White Award for Excellence in Radar Engineering. He has published two textbooks and more than 250 technical articles. He is responsible for foundational work in electronic protection, adaptive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar, MIMO communications, distributed-coherent systems, simultaneous transmit and receive systems, and RF convergence (now known as ISAC). To enable implementation of these advanced systems, he has led multiple coarse-scale heterogeneous system-on-chip (SoC) development programs. Dan has served as Principal Investigator on numerous projects including sponsored programs with DARPA, ONR, Google, Airbus, Space Force, and many others. Before joining ASU, Dan was a Senior Member of the Technical Staff at MIT Lincoln Laboratory (1997-2012). Between his undergraduate and graduate degrees, Dan was employed by General Dynamics (1989-1993), where he designed avionics for the Atlas-Centaur launch vehicle and performed magnetic field optimization for high-energy particle-accelerator superconducting magnets. His doctoral work (1993-1997) was on high-energy particle physics and lattice-gauge-theory calculations.
