Eugene Ghiron Fubini (April 19, 1913 - August 5, 1997) was a defense policy maker of the Cold War.
He immigrated from Italy to the United States in 1939, and in 1942 joined the war effort, working with America despite his native nationality. He worked on research and engineering of radio and defense electronics in general.
Later, Fubini became Assistant Secretary of Defense (1963) and a major voice for the policy of technological supremacy during the Cold War. He also served as the chairman of the U.S. Communications Security board.
Dr. Fubini was the son of Mathematician Guido Fubini. [1]
