Dr . Chance Glenn received his Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Maryland at College Park . He then received his Master of Science degree and Doctor of Philosophy degree , both in Electrical Engineering , from The Johns Hopkins University Whiting School of Engineering . He began his engineering career at the Army Research Laboratory in Adelphi , Maryland where he designed microwave and radio frequency devices for a wide range of defense-related applications . There he also became involved in signal processing and the study of nonlinear dynamical systems . He began publishing , presenting , and submitting patent applications even before completing his undergraduate studies .
He then left the Army Research Lab and started Syncrodyne Systems Corporation with his partner and colleague , Dr . Scott Hayes . Syncrodyne Systems ’ mission was to develop new commercial technologies using nonlinear dynamics as a foundation . They developed and patented the Syncrodyne Amplifier which is a highly efficient power amplifier for communications .
In 2003 , Dr . Glenn joined the faculty at the Rochester Institute of Technology , where was a tenured professor in the College of Applied Science and Technology . In 2008 he became the Associate Dean of Graduate Studies . He was the founding director of the William G . McGowan Center for Telecommunications , Innovation and Collaborative Research , leading faculty , staff , graduate students , and undergraduate students , in order to develop new ideas in communications and signal processing .
He is also founding editor of the Journal of Applied Science , Engineering and Technology . Dr . Glenn is wellpublished , giving talks nationally and internationally , and have several patents awarded and pending surrounding his work . Dr . Glenn is also an avid singer and songwriter , having written and published over one hundred songs , recorded two albums , and having a song nominated for a Grammy award in 2000 .
In August of 2012 , Dr . Glenn became the Dean of the College of Engineering , Technology , and Physical Sciences at the Alabama A & M University in Huntsville , Alabama . He is leading the college through its expansion to prepare students and researchers to meet the global needs of the 21st century . He is working with the faculty to develop new programs in engineering and applied science , as Ph . D . programs . He is leading efforts to collaborate with industry and other academic institutions around the world to grow research in materials science , image and signal processing , alternative energy , and other areas of major global significance . Dr . Glenn is also the host of the podcast , Intelligent Conversations produced by Morningbird Media . The show , available via web and on iTunes , focuses on science , technology , engineering and mathematics . It is a forum that those who care about education can discuss the deep and important things that affect society .
Dr . Glenn is married to Marsha Glenn and they have four children , Michael , Chance , Rebecca , and Morgen .
