UTC Hall of Fame 2006 Inductee - Microsoft Research’s Jim Kajiya
We spoke by phone with Dr. Jim Kajiya, distinguished engineer and a general manager at Microsoft Research shortly before his induction into the Utah Technology Council’s 2006 Hall of Fame. Kajiya talks about the impact of the undervalued Utah technology community. Very much the research scientist, Kajiya is working to solve the problems of today’s ‘topped out’ computer processor and memory designs–and the economic implications of success or failure. He also discusses his passion for the quest to create programmable matter–enabling the transmission and download of physical objects over digital networks.
