SRC names first fellow

CICERO — Daniel Thomas is now an SRC Fellow, a new designation that represents the pinnacle of the technical career ladder at SRC, the company said.

SRC is a nonprofit research and development company.

Thomas is the first person to earn the fellow designation, which involves strict qualification criteria including superior demonstration of engineering or scientific expertise, leadership, and innovation.

As a fellow, Thomas will mentor and provide expertise in radar technology to SRC engineers. He previously served as one of the company’s technology directors.

Thomas has also been named a Military Sensing Symposia (MSS) Fellow. The MSS Fellows program is sponsored by SENSIAC, a Department of Defense Information Analysis Center operated by the Georgia Institute of Technology.

The program recognizes individuals who have made outstanding contributions to military sensing, according to SRC.

“Dan’s expertise in radar technology is evident in many of SRC’s products,” SRC President Paul Tremont said in a news release. “His innovative approach has helped us solve some of our customer’s most challenging problems and we are pleased that his work is being recognized by his peers in the military sensing community.”

Thomas earned his master’s degree and doctorate in electrical engineering from Syracuse University. He earned his bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from Clarkson College of Technology, now known as Clarkson University.

SRC and its for-profit manufacturing subsidiary, SRCTec, together employ about 1,100 people at 15 locations in Colorado, Maine, Maryland, New York, Ohio, Texas, and Virginia. The firms are headquartered in Cicero and also have an office in Rome.
