Dr.
Michael Hawley was on the faculty at the MIT Media Lab for nearly
a decade, where he co-founded Things That Think, a groundbreaking
research program that explores the limitless ways digital media
infuses everyday objects. Dr. Hawley also created the Toys of Tomorrow
program, which engaged many of the world’s leading toy companies
to invent wonderful new playthings. Mike founded Friendly Planet,
a nonprofit organization dedicated to children’s education
in developing countries. His research career has involved psychology
and human-computer interfaces, computer music, and pioneering work
in digital cinema at Lucasfilm. As a principal engineer at NeXT,
Mike developed the world’s first library of digital books,
including digital editions of Shakespeare and Merriam-Webster’s
Collegiate Dictionary. He won the 2002 Van Cliburn piano competition,
and he received a Guinness World Record for publishing the world’s
largest book, Bhutan, in 2003. Mike is also on the board of directors
of Eastman Kodak, Color Kinetics, and the Rutgers Institute of
Jazz. |
