Dr. Alexander D. Wissner-Gross is an award-winning scientist, inventor, and entrepreneur. He serves as the President and Chief Scientist of Gemedy, a leading intelligent systems company, and also holds academic appointments at the Harvard Institute for Applied Computational Science, the Harvard Innovation Lab, and the MIT Media Lab. He has received 116 major distinctions, authored 17 publications, been granted 22 issued, pending, and provisional patents, and founded, managed, and advised 4 technology companies, 1 of which has been acquired. In 1998 and 1999, respectively, he won the U.S.A. Computer Olympiad and the Intel Science Talent Search. In 2003, he became the last person in MIT history to receive a triple major, with bachelors in Physics, Electrical Science and Engineering, and Mathematics, while graduating first in his class from the MIT School of Engineering. In 2007, he completed his Ph.D. in Physics at Harvard, where his research on neuromorphic computing, machine learning, and programmable matter was awarded the Hertz Doctoral Thesis Prize. A popular TED speaker, his talks have been viewed more than 1.8 million times and translated into 26 languages. His work has also been featured in more than 160 press outlets worldwide including The New York Times, CNN, USA Today, the Wall Street Journal, and BusinessWeek. Download Full CV ▶ |
