ECE516: Intelligent Image Processing
Mentorship opportunities with Prof. Mann
Join us in Silicon Valley California, Shenzhen, and Toronto this summer
or fall, where Mann and his students
founded companies with valuation in excess of $1 billion.
(See http://wearcam.org/news/)
Mentorship examples:
- Maya Burhanpurkar, Age 15, mentored at Mann's lab,
won the Canada-Wide 2014 Science Fair, with scientific
experiment based on Mann's concept of absement (link).
Recipient of the international Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee medal.
She is now at Harvard University, studying
Engineering Physics and Computer Science.
- Mann's MaSc students James Fung (now with Google) and
Chris Aimone, together with Mann, and others, co-founded
InteraXon
and raised $28,800,000. InteraXon's
Muse
product, now sold in Best Buy stores all across North
America and on Amazon.com, is known as "The King of
Wearables" (BetaKit), the #1 in wearables (PC Retail)
and "the holy grail for mindfulness",
("Muse 2
review: The world's best meditation tech just got even better").

- While he was Mann's PhD student and TA, Ryan Janzen founded a
transportation company (Transpod), raised $65,000,000 ($20,000,000

- While he was Mann's PhD student and TA, Raymond Lo (now at Harvard)
founded Metavision, raised $75,000,000, and created the world's
first extramissive spatial imaging augmented reality
glass,
based on the metavision/metaveillance
and wearable computing technology that Mann invented
during childhood [IEEE Computer 30(2), p25-32, February 1997;
USPTO 61/748,468, 61/916,773, and 20140184496]

Prof. Mann also maintains ties with MIT, Stanford, and many other organizations
also looking for talent.
So please show us what you can do.
We're also happy to help you achieve other great things of your choosing.
