Timothy James Becker is a graduate of Computer Science and Engineering with a concentration in Bioinformatics from the University of Connecticut. His research spans a wide range of applied algorithms and integrative science. He first graduated from The Hartt School, majoring in Music Production and Technology while minoring in Jazz Guitar and then later graduated from the College of Arts and Sciences majoring in Computer Science while minoring in Math. He uses his passion and experience in informatics to challenge students to think critically.
