The way we live, work, and play is  different today than it was a few decades ago. We are beginning a tech revolution, as the Internet enters the physical space and becomes an “Internet of Things.” It is opening the door to applications that encompass many domains: production, citizen participation, energy, mobility and public hygiene, all of which require new insights due to the pandemic. Prof. Carlo Ratti addresses these issues through projects by the Senseable City Laboratory, a research initiative at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the design office Carlo Ratti Associati.

An architect and engineer by training, Professor Carlo Ratti teaches at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he directs the Senseable City Lab, and is a founding partner of the international design and innovation office Carlo Ratti Associati. He graduated from the Politecnico di Torino and the École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées in Paris, and later earned his MPhil and PhD at the University of Cambridge, UK. Forbes listed him as one of the 25 ‘Names You Need To Know’.
