In his more than 30 years at MIT, Dr. Lippman has created research programs on entertainment, interactivity, networking, radio communications, personal computers, and graphics. As the creator and head of the Lab's Viral Communications program, Dr. Lippman is one of the world's foremost authorities on viral communication and how this explosive new development will transform the communications industry and business in general.
