Brian Otis
Spending the bulk of his educational career at University of California, Berkeley, Otis primarily now works at the University of Washington as an electrical engineer and runs a chip research deign lab that has contributed heavily to Google Lens’ design (4). His passions stem from exploring the limitations of size and power on the human body. Gaining recognition from the National Science Foundation, The Analogue Devices Fellowship, and the Outstanding Teaching Program at the University of Washington, Otis’s career continues to monitor how technology can improve the health by means of engineering (6).
