EXTON, Pa. -- Dr. Bernardo Huberman, a technology pioneer and futurist whose inventions have affected business and residential behaviors, will be a special guest speaker during the Opening General Session of SCTE•ISBE Cable-Tec Expo 2018 on Tuesday, Oct. 23, in Atlanta, the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE) and its global arm, the International Society of Broadband Experts (ISBE), announced today.

Dr. Huberman, Fellow and vice president of the Core Innovation Team for CableLabs, will address how Silicon Valley and the cable and telecommunications industry can jointly ride the tidal wave of Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things technologies to unlock new areas of growth. During a conversation with Light Reading Editor Jeff Baumgartner, Dr. Huberman will discuss the opportunities around such areas as AI, data analytics, driverless vehicles and drones and network virtualization, as well as how Silicon Valley’s energy management research aligns with the cable industry’s Energy 2020 program.

Dr. Huberman began his career as a physicist and was one of the discoverers of chaos in numerous physical systems. During a career in which he has earned four dozen patents, he has uncovered the nature of electronic markets, designed novel mechanisms for enhancing privacy and trust in e-commerce negotiations, and invented ePrint—the first system to allow remote printing from a mobile device anywhere in the world. Dr. Huberman received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Pennsylvania.
