Dr. Paradiso received a B.S. degree in electrical engineering and physics from Tufts University in 1977 and a Ph.D. degree in physics from MIT in 1981 as a C. T. Compton Fellow. From 1981 to 1983, he was at the Laboratory for High-Energy Physics at ETH (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology) in Zurich, where he developed precision particle trackers for the L3 experiment at the CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland. During 1984-1994, he was at the Draper Laboratory in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he conducted research in spacecraft control systems, image processing, sonar sensors, and high-energy physics detectors for the Superconducting Supercollider. He was a visiting scientist at ETH in 1991 and 1992, developing fast pattern recognition systems for proposed detectors at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. He is also active in electronic music and has designed several music synthesizers. Since 1994, he has been a research scientist at the MIT Media Laboratory, where his interests include the development of new sensors for human-computer interaction. He is currently the technology director for the Things That Think consortium.
