Henry Holtzman, Chief Knowledge Officer, MIT Media Lab

Henry Holtzman has been a member of the MIT community since 1981, joining the Media Lab as a researcher when it opened in 1985.  Currently, he is the Lab's Chief Knowledge Officer, co-director of the SIMPLICITY consortium, and co-director of the Physical Language Workshop. In addition, Holtzman directs the Lab's CE 2.0 initiative, a collaboration with 14 Media Lab sponsor companies to formulate the principles for a new generation of consumer electronics that are highly connected, seamlessly interoperable, situation-aware, and radically simple.

Holtzman has led research projects in the areas of tangible networking and image compression, resulting in desktop applications for RFID such as the Smart Mousepad, multicast network architectures for multimedia, IP television, scale-free image representation, and knowledge-based video representation. As a member of the MPEG standardization committee, he helped to define MPEG-2 video technology, used in DirecTV, DVD, digital cable, and digital TV broadcasting. Holtzman has been granted multiple patents for his inventions.

Holtzman has extensive experience with RFID, computer programming, hardware design, operating systems, and network architecture. He has worked with Codex, a subsidiary of Motorola Inc.; Apple Computer; Hearst New Media; and Art Technology Group. He was founder, CEO, and CTO of Presto Technologies, Inc., a Media Lab spinoff that introduced many novel uses for RFID to the market. He received his MS in media arts and sciences, and his BS in computer science, both from MIT.

亨利.霍兹曼，1981年进入麻省理工学院，并于1985年作为创始研究员之一加入多媒体实验室。他现在是该实验室首席科学家，SIMPLICITY 项目主任，Physical Language实验室主任。此外，霍兹曼负责实验室的CE2.0 项目，该项目与实验室的14个资助公司合作，开发新一代能紧密结合实现无缝操作，智能化，而且方便易用的消费电子系统。

霍兹曼领导过很多研究项目，比如tangible networking、image compression，并应用于智能鼠标垫，多媒体多点传送网络架构，IP电视，超范围图象演示，智能视频演示系统这些射频识别（RFID ）桌面程序。作为MPEG标准化委员会的成员，他参与开发了用于DirecTV, DVD, digital cable, digital TV 播出使用的MPEG－2视频技术的界定。他也被公认为这些技术的创造者之一。
