Zoz is a robotics engineer, software hacker, pyrochemist and inveterate tinkerer. He got his PhD from the Robotic Life group at the MIT Media Lab primarily so he could say "Trust me, I'm a doctor" to other robots. He is a co-founder of Cannytrophic Design (www.cannytrophic.com) which operates a hacking and art space in Boston, and invents industrial art pieces with designations like Funkenschnorkel, Luftwerfer and Schallfaust. One of his biggest goals is to restore science and engineering education to pride of place as a top global priority, so when he discovered that this aim could be combined with his love of media whoring he co-hosted Prototype This! for the Discovery Channel. He continues to work in science education television in order to nurture the next generation of hackers.
