In September, the lab hired a new head of human resources, Cesar Mieses, from Harvard University. Kahn says “the executive committee provided regular communication and updates to the Media Lab community, but it was not posted publicly.” Several Media Lab working groups, Newman says, focused on “culture, climate, and governance” at the lab.Įven though a 2019 Media Lab press release promised “a future of greater inclusion and transparency,” nothing was released publicly about the work of those committees. In the interregnum between Ito’s directorship and Newman’s, MIT released a detailed 61-page report on the $850,000 in total donations Epstein made to the university and the decisionmaking process that led to accepting it.

Her group at the Media Lab, which focused on designs inspired by nature, has been disbanded. She has announced she will open her own research and design lab in New York. Neri Oxman, a researcher whose group within the Media Lab had received $125,000 from Epstein, which she subsequently said she regretted accepting, has left.

A “Director’s Fellows” program that Ito had started in 2013, which attracted lesser-known researchers from around the world along with celebrities that included movie director JJ Abrams and CNN host Van Jones, was shut down. The Media Lab is usually pretty good at self-promotion - founding director Nicholas Negroponte was a long-time columnist for Wired Magazine, and Stewart Brand wrote a book about the lab in 1987 - but in the period between Ito’s resignation and Newman’s July start date, it seemed content to maintain a lower profile about some things. As the world returns to normalcy, we can anticipate the return of some of our members.” Lab spokeswoman Alexandra Kahn explained via e-mail that “the number of member organizations has always ebbed and flowed for a variety of reasons, such as the general economy in the U.S., international markets, and certainly this pandemic. Among the local companies no longer listed are Biogen, Bose Corp., Fidelity Investments, and General Electric.

I was / am a reviewer for: ACM CHI (2014,2015,2016), EuroGraphics (2016), ACM ToCHI (2013), ACM SIGGRAPH Asia (2012), ACM Augmented Human (2014, 2015 & 2016 - PC Member).But a list of corporate members from October 2018 included more than 85 companies, and the lab’s website today lists just 41. I was also a researcher in Comverse Innovation, at Comverse LTD, a company developing solutions for telecom service providers. In the past I worked as a researcher in the Computer Graphics lab in Tel-Aviv University, under the supervision of Prof. Eyal Ofek, researching novel Large-Scale Augmented Reality experiences with Head-Mounted Displays. In summer 2012 I worked in Microsoft Research at Redmond WA, under the supervision of Dr. at Grand Rapids MI, researching the implementation of smart manufacturing tools into the production line (as part of my research into smart tools for spray painting, see IEEE Paper, ACM ToG Paper). In summer 2014 I spent time with Steelcase Inc. My main interest is in Augmented Reality, Human Computer Interaction, Computer Graphics and Computer Vision. Until summer 2015 I was a PhD student and research assistant in the MIT Media Lab's Fluid Interfaces group, my advisor was Prof.
