Applied Electrodynamics, Inc.
A new kind of camera that can see through walls.
About Applied Electrodynamics, Inc.
Applied Electrodynamics builds imaging systems that see through solid matter. Our team previously co-invented the iPhone touchscreen and Nest learning thermostat. We’re starting in construction, helping teams map structural elements and utilities inside walls and ceilings. The same platform extends to security screening and cargo inspection. Our mission is to make the hidden physical world machine-readable across the entire electromagnetic spectrum.
Founders
Bilgehan Avser
Co-founder & CEO
Bil Avser previously led antenna technologies at Apple across multiple iPhone generations, including UWB, 5G, and mmWave systems, before serving as Head of Technology at Humane through its acquisition by HP. He holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering, has 35+ patents in electromagnetics and RF systems, and received the IEEE APS Pre-Doctoral Research Award.
Brian Huppi
Founder
Brian Huppi is a hardware engineer and inventor who helped build the earliest iPhone prototypes at Apple, contributing to the multitouch hardware that redefined how the world interacts with devices. He co-invented the first generation Nest Learning Thermostat and later worked on the AI Pin at Humane. He is a named inventor on numerous patents spanning touch interfaces, sensing systems, lighting, and connected devices. Brian holds degrees in Civil and Electrical Engineering from UMass Amherst.
Paul Leutheuser
Founder
Paul Leutheuser is a hardware product design engineer who drove numerous new iPhone features into production, including the first haptic home button and IPX8 sealed enclosure. He then designed and shipped multiple 0-1 products at Humane, leading the Product Design team post-acquisition. Paul has 11 patents and holds a Mechanical Engineering degree from UC Berkeley.
George McLean
Founder
George McLean is an applied physicist with wide-ranging experience in semiconductor imaging systems and medical devices and patents in retinal prothesis and wearable physiological monitoring. At Humane he made key contributions to the laser display of the Ai Pin. He holds degrees in physics from MIT and UC Berkeley.
