Chip Elliot, of BBN Technologies, will be principal investigator and project director for the new GENI Project Office. He will assume overall responsibility for timely completion of GENI's planning, including development and management of the GPO itself and its dependent working groups and subcontracts. As chief engineer, he will ensure that GENI is well-designed and technically feasible, satisfies its research requirements, and is fully ready for construction. He has been actively involved in GENI's planning since early 2006 as a system engineer for the wireless group, and is personally committed to GENI's goals and success.
