... His engineering activities include development of engineering tools for design, analysis, and visualization of collaborative communication and reconnaissance networks, including terrestrial, airborne, and satellite communication systems and networks; development of robust emitter detection and geolocation methods for collaborative reconnaissance networks; development of techniques and systems for detection, demodulation, and geolocation of WLAN devices; and development, analysis, and simulation of transceivers for secure, adaptive MIMO mesh networks.

... He is currently developing a crosscutting initiative in bioinspired computing, communication, and signal processing, is principle investigator for a number of research initiatives for the intelligence community, and is working on the application of the global optimizer and other soft-computing techniques to problems in the software-defined and cognitive radio domains. Since joining the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in 1987, he has also championed innovations in the design and development of nuclear/radiation sensor systems and smart networkable transducers; system-level modeling, simulation, and rapid prototyping of hardware and software communications platforms; soft-computing techniques for nonlinear engineering problems; mobile ad hoc wireless sensor systems; and sensor- and GPS-enabled RFID tagging, tracking, and locating systems for national security needs.

... Tingley led a team that developed a detailed model and associated discrete event simulation of a commercial worldwide air-to-ground data communication network. Serving in the role of communications system task leader of the ONR program RSVP, he led the team that developed propagation models for RF propagation aboard naval destroyers, designed and manufactured ultra-low-power wireless sensor nodes, and invented and patented new techniques for first-responder tracking.
