Tim Dasey, Ph.D.
From AI confusion to teachable wisdom
Meet Tim
AI, Learning, and Innovation Leadership
Tim has thirty-five years of AI experience, most of it in leadership at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. His teams addressed challenges in transportation, medicine and health, weather, disaster management, and law enforcement and security. He gravitated toward an education focus through observing his children’s school experiences, shaping the paths of hundreds of workers, interdisciplinary expertise, and many game-based education and analysis projects.
​​
He's a bit of an intellectual mutt, but that breadth allows him to see connections others may miss. With expertise in psychology, learning science, innovation leadership, systems analysis, and change management, he can address the human and cultural issues too.
​​​
Tim earned a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Rutgers University, and a B.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Clarkson University.
