Wissner-Gross is an American research scientist and entrepreneur.[1] He is a fellow at the Institute for Applied Computational Science at Harvard University.[2] EducationAt the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he researched nanotechnology, Wissner-Gross triple-majored in physics, electrical engineering and mathematics. He was awarded the Marshall Scholarship, and was the last student to triple-major at MIT before the option was discontinued.[3] Wissner-Gross also has a Ph.D in physics from Harvard University.[4] EntrepreneurshipIn 2007,[4] Wissner-Gross founded the technology company CO2Stats, which measures the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by using a website.[4] CO2Stats is based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and received funding from the seed venture capital firm Y Combinator.[5] The company attracted controversy when Wissner-Gross was reported to have claimed, which he has denied,[5] that a single Google search emitted seven grams of CO2, which Google disputed.[6] ActivitiesWissner-Gross co-authored a paper with mathematician Cameron Freer describing a "biophysical model for explaining sophisticated intelligent behavior in human and nonhuman animals", published in the journal Physical Review Letters,[7] which he expected would be useful for artificial intelligence. Researcher Gary Marcus wrote an article in The New Yorker criticizing the paper, saying they were "essentially promising a television set that walks your dog".[1] References1. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Marcus|first1=Gary|last2=Davis|first2=Ernest|title=A Grand Unified Theory of Everything|url=http://www.newyorker.com/tech/elements/a-grand-unified-theory-of-everything|accessdate=4 April 2016|publisher=The New Yorker|date=May 6, 2013}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=Alexander Wissner-Gross|url=http://iacs.seas.harvard.edu/people/alexander-wissner-gross|website=Institute for Applied Computational Science at Harvard University|publisher=Harvard University|accessdate=4 April 2016}} 3. ^{{cite news|title=Three MIT students win Marshall Scholarships|url=http://news.mit.edu/2002/marshalls|accessdate=4 April 2016|publisher=MIT News|date=December 4, 2002}} 4. ^{{cite news|last1=St. John|first1=Jeff|title=Google CO2 Claim Throws CO2Stats Into Limelight|url=https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/google-co2-claim-throws-co2stats-into-limelight-5516|accessdate=4 April 2016|publisher=Greentech Media|date=January 13, 2009}} 5. ^1 2 3 {{cite news|last1=Buderi|first1=Robert|title=Tempest in a Tea Kettle: CO2Stats Founder Caught in Frenzy Around Environmental Costs of a Google Search|url=http://www.xconomy.com/boston/2009/01/12/tempest-in-a-tea-kettle-co2stats-founder-caught-in-frenzy-around-environmental-costs-of-a-google-search/|accessdate=4 April 2016|publisher=Xconomy|date=January 14, 2009}} 6. ^{{cite news|title='Carbon cost' of Google revealed|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7823387.stm|accessdate=4 April 2016|publisher=BBC News|date=January 12, 2009}} 7. ^{{cite journal|last1=Wissner-Gross|first1=Alexander D.|last2=Freer|first2=Cameron E.|title=Causal Entropic Forces|journal=Physical Review Letters|date=April 19, 2013|volume=110|doi=10.1103/PhysRevLett.110.168702|url=http://www.alexwg.org/publications/PhysRevLett_110-168702.pdf|accessdate=4 April 2016|bibcode = 2013PhRvL.110p8702W }} External links
