RESUME

Not just Moonshots - Moon Landings

Mary Lou creates bold visions of the future, takes them through R&D and delivers them to scale. She is acclaimed for her work at Google [x], Facebook, Oculus, and One Laptop per Child in consumer electronics, computers, TV, VR, wearables, software and web services. Her breadth spans further into design, internet, automotive and medical devices.

Until mid-2016 she led advanced consumer electronics and virtual reality at Facebook and Oculus. Previously she had a similar role at Google and Google [x], where she was also a close advisor to Sergey Brin. She co-founded One Laptop per Child (OLPC) with Nicholas Negroponte, and was the lead inventor and architect of the $100 laptop. She built OLPC’s partnerships throughout Asia to deliver the $100 laptop into high volume production. She has worked extensively with the Asian manufacturing hubs in Taiwan, China, Japan and Korea, living in Taiwan for six years. Her startup CEO experience includes the world’s only fabless display screen company which was based in Taipei. She was also a professor at MIT and RMIT. She holds a PhD in Optical Physics and Sc.B in Electrical Engineering both from Brown University and a Sc.M. in Computational Holography from the MIT Media Lab. She is an inventor on over 200 published or issued patents.

She has been recognized with many awards including: TIME magazine’s “Time 100” as one of the 100 most influential people in the world; a CNN top 10 thinker; and by the leading global professional societies in optics, display and electronics. She is a board director for Lear Corp. (NYSE:LEA), a $20B tier-1 automotive component supplier. She has broad advisory experience including government level in Peru, Uruguay, China, Taiwan, Brazil, USA, the White House and the United Nations.

Work Experience

Founder - Openwater - San Francisco, CA 2016- present

Goal: Replace the functionality of MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) with a consumer electronics wearable using novel opto-electronics to achieve comparable resolution to MRI. Implications are broad for detection and treatment of cancer, cardiovascular disease, internal bleeding, mental disease, neurodegenerative disease, and beyond - for communication via thought.

Executive Director of Engineering - Facebook and Oculus - Menlo Park, CA 2015-2016

Mary Lou is both an architect and an executive at Facebook / Oculus leading various efforts including a continued transformation of the virtual reality experience. She has announced her departure from Facebook in August 2016 to spend more time at Openwater

Board Director - Lear Corporation - Southfield Michigan 2016 - present

Helping steer this $20B Fortune 500 (#174) company listed on the NYSE well through the transformation in transporation underway now.

Head of Display Division, Google [x] Mountain View, CA - 2012-2015

Mary Lou advised display and hardware efforts throughout Google, and reported to Google co-founder Sergey Brin. While there she also founded and directed two “Moonshot” programs in Google [x]. She was responsible for invention and architecture, R&D (SW and HW engineering) and also business strategy, product management, operations, supply chain, manufacturing, go-to-market and strategic partnerships.

CEO and Founder, Pixel Qi Corp Taipei, Taiwan (and San Bruno, CA) - 2008 - 2014

Mary Lou founded Pixel Qi, the world’s only fabless display developer, as a spin-off of One Laptop per Child to extend and commercialize the breakthrough screen and power management architecture she invented and developed for the $100 laptop. She built a business to develop new screen architectures ready for mass production with less than a year of development time (display innovation typically takes a decade or more to reach fruition). Pixel Qi technology shipped several million units with >10x lower power consumption and sunlight readability while preserving color, video and image quality. As CEO, she oversaw business strategy, product management, R&D (SW and HW engineering), operations, raising funds, supply chain, manufacturing, go-to-market and strategic partnerships.

CTO and Co-founder, One Laptop per Child Cambridge, Mass - 2005 - 2008

Jepsen launched this non-profit organization with Nicholas Negroponte, and was its only employee for its first year. Jepsen invented the fundamental laptop architecture and a new screen and convinced some of world’s largest manufacturers to produce it. She oversaw sequential development from prototypes to scale-manufacture of the innovative underlying components, software, content, IP, firmware, and the entire system; managing over 1000 people. Millions of units shipped to nearly every country transforming opportunities for children in the developing world. Over $1B of revenue went through OLPC and this catalyzed $30B of revenue for its for-profit partners.

Professor, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, The Media Lab Cambridge, Mass - 2005-2007

Jepsen joined the faculty of the MIT Media Lab where she initially co-founded One Laptop per Child. She drove work in a variety of areas including consumer electronics, software systems, display architecture, and user interfaces particularly for pre-literate children.

Chief Technology Officer, Intel Corporation, Display Division Santa Clara, CA - 2004-2005

Responsible for overall architecture and design of Intel's next generation HDTV products - including optics, liquid crystals, testing, characterization, performance improvement, design and integration of electronics, ASICs, and manufacturing.

Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, MicroDisplay Corporation Richmond, CA - 1995-2003

Created microdisplay technology for virtual reality, augmented reality, wearables, and flat screen HDTVs. Shipped breakthrough product in all these areas working primarily with Asian manufacturers and brand names throughout the globe. Served as overall system architect, led design and integration of electronics, ASICs, optics, liquid crystals, optical engine, TV makers, head-mounted displays, cellphone makers, all for optimized manufacturability in product.

Senior Member of Technical Staff, Philips Consumer Electronics & Research NY - 1998-1999

Part of early Lumileds effort contributing to breakthroughs in efficiency for LED devices now included in billions of devices. Developed Philips single-panel and triple-panel (500+ frame per second) liquid crystal on silicon devices and front- and rear- projection systems.

Education and Scientific Research and Media Arts

Ph.D. Optical Physics, Brown University 1996

Liquid crystal displays that work without polarized light, with liquid crystal filled holographic diffractive structures.

Side Project: Started Moon-TV - to project video on the Moon by redirecting sunlight incident on Earth to the Moon using large solar farms filled with big moving mirrors

Sc.M. Media Technology, MIT Media Lab 1989

World's first fully computer generated holographic video system

Sc.B. Electrical Engineering (with Honors), A.B. Studio Art (req.) Brown University 1987

My focus was on Holography which combined my strong interests in math, engineering and art.

Senior Fellow, Kunsthochschule for Median Köln Cologne, Germany - 1991-1992

Big Art: made a big computer generated hologram that filled a city block and could be only seen 10 minutes a day for 55 days a year if it wasn't overcast.

Computer Science Professor, Royal Melbourne Inst of Technology Australia - 1990-1991

Huge computer generated holograms - that filled beach coves, and small ones that were used on the Australian paper (plastic) currency. Also lots of "straight" 3D computer graphics on flat screens with really good optical modeling (at the time)

Optical Computing - San Diego Fellow, University of California, San Diego, CA - 1989-1990
