Cohen-Karni to lead team of experts in collaboration with DARPA

Carnegie Mellon University researchers are part of a team working with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to develop a system for regulating the body’s circadian clock. Such a system will support military personnel who frequently travel across multiple time zones, and shift workers including first responders, who vacillate between overnight and daytime shifts.

Tzahi Cohen-Karni will head Carnegie Mellon’s team of experts, including: Douglas Weber, professor of mechanical engineering; Carl Olson, professor of cognitive neuroscience; Matt Smith, associate professor of biomedical engineering; and Darcy Griffin, special faculty researcher in the university’s Neuroscience Institute. (Weber, Olson, and Smith also hold faculty appointments in the Neuroscience Institute.)
