From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sunil Vemuri is a co-founder of reQall Inc.,[1] an MIT Media Lab spin off,[2] and a NASA Research Partner.[3] His areas of research include human memory assistance, information retrieval, information extraction, information visualization, knowledge acquisition, organizational memory, speech recognition, and interface/interaction design.[4][5][6]

CNN has named Sunil Vemuri a "CNN Explorer" in 2005.[7]

On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of MIT's Media Lab, his research has been cited as one of the top 25 ideas that have been spun out of the Media Lab.[8]

Prior to reQall, he worked at France Telecom's Cambridge Lab. and Apple Inc. He has six patents in information retrieval and his research has been extensively covered in mainstream press.[9][10][11][12]

During his student days, Sunil worked at the Beckman Research Institute of the City of Hope hospital near Los Angeles, CA., with Terry Lee and created "MacProMass", a Macintosh program to aid in Mass Spectral Analysis and Protein Chemistry (it has been since renamed MacBioSpec).[13] Sunil received his Ph.D. from MIT Media Lab,[14][15][16][17][18][19] a master's degree in Computer Science from Stanford University,[17][18] and his bachelor's degree in Cybernetics from UCLA.[17][18]

Sunil Vemuri, Co-founder and Chief Product Officer of reQall, talks about reQall: The Context-Aware Intelligent Assistant Experience in an interview with Robert Scoble.[20][21]

Sunil is currently a product manager at Google.[22]
