He has been an instructor at our district's annual RYLA events, and has established and advises the Rotaract Club of MIT.  For six years, he also served as chair of District 7910's Bandey-Hefler Fellowship for a Rotary exchange between our District and two Districts southwest of London.
 
Professionally, Victor received his BS, MS, and ScD from MIT in electrical engineering and computer science with a specialization in computer vision. Dr. Tom is currently a chief scientist at BAE Systems, FAST Labs in Burlington, MA. He is helping to solve critical defense problems. 
 
In non-defense work, Victor helped win the America’s Cup in 1992 and developed the first practical pitch-tracking system for Major League Baseball. The system revolutionized the way umpires call balls and strikes.
