Dr. Alexander D. Wissner-Gross is a physicist, computer scientist, entrepreneur, and investor working at the intersection of artificial intelligence and the physical world. He is Founder and Chief Scientist of Physical Superintelligence (PSI), and has backed and advised more than 40 technology companies, both directly and through 021T and Reified. He co-hosts Moonshots, one of the most-watched technology podcasts in the world, and writes The Innermost Loop, a daily newsletter reaching nearly 100,000 readers. He is the author of Solve Everything and a contributing author of the New York Times Science Bestseller This Idea Must Die and the Amazon #1 New Release What to Think About Machines That Think. His TED talks have been viewed over 2 million times in 27 languages. He has received 128 major distinctions, authored 24 publications, and been granted 26 patents. In 2003, he became the last person in MIT history to earn a triple major (Physics, Electrical Science and Engineering, and Mathematics), graduating first in his class from the MIT School of Engineering with a Marshall Scholarship. In 2007, he completed his Ph.D. in Physics at Harvard, where his research on neuromorphic computing, machine learning, and programmable matter received the Hertz Doctoral Thesis Prize.
