Timothy J. Dasey - Biography
Dr. Timothy J. Dasey is the Leader of the Chemical and Biological Defense (CBD) Systems Group which designs, develops, and demonstrates bioagent and other hazardous material sensing and protection systems for numerous Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) sponsors. Dr. Dasey also serves as the lead of the CBD mission area at Lincoln Laboratory. The project work of this mission area includes system architecture development, technology and operations assessments, sensing and information systems, system prototyping, and test and evaluation. In addition, the group develops advanced biometrics and forensics tools for law enforcement and video analytics solutions. Another focus is on analyzing portal screening and explosives detection solutions.
Dr. Dasey joined the Laboratory in 1991 and spent ten years in the Weather Sensing Group, developing aviation safety and capacity-enhancing products for commercial aviation, particularly weather-related products. He led efforts in the detection and characterization of aircraft-induced wake turbulence and in thunderstorm-generated low-level wind shear.
Dr. Dasey joined the CBD Systems Group just prior to 9/11. Since that time, he participated in high-level policy and advisory groups such as the national-level Biological Emergency Advisory Team, the New York City subway defense expert panel, and the DHS Metropolitan Education Team. He initiated and twice organized the New England Bioterrorism Preparedness Workshop.
Dr. Dasey holds a PhD degree in biomedical engineering from Rutgers University, where his dissertation research focused on the development of novel pattern analysis techniques to assist multiple sclerosis diagnosis. He also holds a BS degree in electrical and computer engineering from Clarkson University.
