Thomas S. Bianchi

Bianchi was born in 1956 in Richmond Hill, New York, and moved to Holbrook in eastern Long Island where he stayed through his early college years. As a child, he was very interested in basketball, largely influenced by his uncle, Al Bianchi, who was a professional basketball player. Bianchi has played drums through much of his life, and became interested in oceanography very early on. He earned his Ph.D. from University of Maryland in 1987.

Bianchi has been a professor at the University of Florida since 2013.^[1] Before joining UF, he held full professor positions at Tulane University and Texas A&M University.
