Raffaello D'Andrea

From artful creations at the Venice Biennale to 'intelligent' warehouses for retail giants like Staples and Walgreens, Raffaello D'Andrea's work has captured the imagination of researchers, gallery-goers and business leaders around the world.

Developed over years of research at the California Institute of Technology, Cornell University and now ETH Zurich, D'Andrea's work has been widely published in top academic journals, and has earned him such diverse accolades as the United States Presidential Early Career Award for Science & Engineering, the IEEE/IRA Invention and Entrepreneurship Award, and a place in the permanent art collection of the National Gallery of Canada.

D'Andrea equates his achievement with his commitment to scientific and mathematical rigor, and his desire to collaborate with innovators in other fields.
