Biography
W. Gregory (Greg) Lyons received BS, MS, and PhD degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His MS thesis work involved some of the earliest research on AlGaAs/GaAs high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs). His PhD thesis advisor was John Tucker, who developed the Quantum Theory of Mixing (QTM). Greg’s PhD thesis work at Illinois explored, in part, the application of QTM to other materials systems in collaboration with John Tucker and John Bardeen.
Greg joined Lincoln Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT LL) following his PhD work at Illinois. Initially, he developed superwideband RF/microwave components and subsystems, often using novel superconductive and RF photonic technologies. He later moved to designing complete RF/microwave and millimeter-wave (mmw) systems, focusing on the development and field testing of advanced radar, sensing, communications, and electronic warfare (EW) prototype systems for airborne, ground, and space applications. Greg and his team won the best paper award at the 1998 Government Microcircuit Applications Conference (GOMAC).
From 2010-2015 he was an Assistant Group Leader in the Rapid Systems Prototyping Group at MIT LL. This rapid prototyping work covered development and fielding of a wide variety of important RF/microwave and optical systems, including the development and fielding of prototype systems for counter RF improvised explosive device EW (CREW).
Greg is currently a Senior Member of Technical Staff at MIT LL. He has done research and development in high-frequency and high-speed semiconductor devices, condensed matter physics, applied physics, electromagnetics, optical systems, advanced passive microwave filters, phased-array antennas, RF photonic systems, and a wide variety of complete RF/microwave/mmw systems. For the past ten years, he has focused mainly on designing, building, and testing advanced ground-based and airborne radar systems from HF through millimeter-wave, as well as identifying opportunities for advanced technology development and insertion into RF/microwave/mmw systems.

The question is not what you look at, but what you see.
