Alex Bäcker, Ph.D.

Alex Bäcker, Ph.D. holds 11 patents and in 2021 was named among the top 100 MIT Alumni in Technology. His seminal papers on COVID and sunlight were picked up by the press around the world. Many of us wait in lines less, thanks to Bäcker's app QLess, and we can now visit locations around the world by piloting drones from the comfort of our home or phones, or monetize our drones during idle time by sharing them with others around the world, with a new platform he's co-created called Drisit. Dr. Bäcker's new book, "101 Clues to a Happy Life," started as an homage to his adult children. Learn more about the app at Drisit.com
