Dr. Philip Meier

Philip Meier is a vision scientist, roboticist, and artist. Philip thrives building new products powered by smart algorithms. He is the Chief Product Officer of CleverPet, a startup that automatically teaches pets using techniques from cognitive and behavioral science. While completing his PhD in Computational Neuroscience at UC San Diego, Philip developed systems that automatically trained more than 100 animals a day. As a scientist at Brain Corporation, he developed new brain-inspired image-processing algorithms. Philip has built stereo-vision systems that allow drones to avoid collisions, using Linux on Qualcomm processors. Philip was a key catalyst in CleverPet’s successful inaugural session with the Qualcomm Robotics Accelerator (powered by Techstars). Philip strives to tell compelling technology stories in our digital culture to help us understand and communicate with images and video.
