Prior to joining Hidden Level, Tim served as Senior Technologist at SRC, Inc and as a Senior Radar Systems Engineer at Lockheed Martin. He has over 20 years of experience in the design, development, and production of RF sensors; including radar systems, passive RF detection systems and direction-finding systems. He has numerous patents and publications on radar and sensor technology. Tim holds a bachelor's degree from Michigan Technological University and master’s degree from Syracuse University, both in electrical engineering.
Jennifer Graham, PhD. Associate Teaching Professor & Electrical Engineering and
Computer Science Undergraduate Program Director, Syracuse University.
Jen’s background is in electrical engineering. She began her career in industry
working at Lockheed Martin and SRC Inc. as a radar systems engineer specializing
in antenna design, modeling and calibration. In 2015 she joined the faculty of the
electrical engineering and computer science department at Syracuse University as a
teaching professor. Her academic and teaching interests include curriculum
development, hands-on laboratories, flipped and collaborative learning classrooms
and rethinking traditional approaches to engineering education. She is currently
serving as the program director for the undergraduate programs in electrical
engineering and computer science; one of her efforts in this role is to expand
participation in both fields. She holds a Bachelor’s, Masters, and PhD degree in
Electrical Engineering from Syracuse University.
