Gaetano Borriello (1958โ2015) was an American computer scientist and researcher in
Intel Research Seattle.[1] The Place Lab project he led at Intel Research using Wi-Fi to enhance location sensing is now the dominant approach in use by Apple, Google, Microsoft, and others.[2]
Borriello was named a Fellow of the
Fulbright Scholar.[5]
Borriello was on the University of Washington computer science faculty from 1988 until his death โ 27 years. The Gaetano Borriello Endowed Fellowship for Change was funded by Borriello's friends on his untimely death, to provide support for UW students "whose work is focused on exploring how technology can improve the lives of underserved populations".[5]
