ScienceLives interview with Shwetak Patel
Shwetak Patel would like to change your home, and make sensors tell you amazing things from every appliance. His creative thinking spurred the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation to call him a "genius" in 2011. He has been a University of Washington assistant professor for three years; has launched and sold a startup company; was named a top innovator under the age of 35 by MIT Technology Review; was named one of the state's innovators of the year; and has won a prestigious Microsoft Research faculty fellowship.
