Bob Gleichauf is the Director of Lab41 and Chief Scientist at In-Q-Tel (IQT), an independent, strategic investor that delivers innovative technology solutions to the U.S. Intelligence Community. Prior to joining IQT in 2009 Bob worked at Cisco, WheelGroup, IQ Software, and Datapoint. Prior to that, Bob spent time in Africa and the University of Michigan pursuing a PhD (which he did not complete) in early human prehistory. What he did not fully appreciate at the time was how much time and effort he was expending on signal to noise processing of field data.
