Thomas P. Bizon is a research engineer in the Digital Communications Branch at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field in Cleveland, Ohio. His research interest is the development of real-time digital hardware.

Mr. Bizon earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in electrical engineering from Case Western Reserve University. He has designed, implemented, and tested a variety of digital systems, including a digital channel simulator, an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) demodulator front end, video data compression codec, and quaternary phase-shift keying (QPSK) bit-error-rate measurement system. Additionally, he has developed a field-programmable gate-array (FPGA) motor control platform supporting the NASA Glenn Electrical Systems Development Branch. Mr. Bizon has published several papers based on his development efforts, including “Real-Time Demonstration Hardware for Enhanced DPCM Video Compression Algorithm,” which was a 1992 nominee for the Communications Technology Division’s Distinguished Publication Award. He has also received a variety of individual and team awards throughout his 17-year career.
