InterDigital 2024 Inventor of the Year Award
Winners
Michael Starsinic
Since joining InterDigital in 2000, Michael Starsinic has led
research initiatives, contributed to standards, and developed a
strong portfolio of innovation advancing network architecture and
communications protocols for IoT and 5G-enabled devices. Throughout
his extensive career, Michael has shaped the standards driving
efficiency in IoT communications and fostered improvements to
network protocols to support new services like extended reality and
haptic-enhanced communications.
As an inventor, Michael is inspired by the long tail of
innovation and the challenge of consistently developing new
contributions to improve the status quo. Michael’s patented
inventions have largely addressed improvements to the protocols
that make device and application communication with the network
efficient. In addition to his significant contributions to Convida,
a joint venture between InterDigital and Sony dedicated to IoT
research and innovation, Michael’s early research in service
capability exposure, or the ways different IoT applications
interact with the core network, has evolved to support 5G network
communication with more complex and data intense applications, like
augmented and extended reality (AR/XR).
Michael is well respected throughout industry and standards
circles, and he cites his collaborations with colleagues as fuel
for his innovation. Whether through contributions to the oneM2M and
3GPP standards ecosystems or forward-looking research that enhances
network support for next-gen devices and applications, Michael is
an esteemed inventor influencing system architectures and
communications protocols that unlock incredible new capabilities
for networks and consumers alike.
Fabrice Le Léannec
Fabrice Le Léannec is a Brittany-based Senior Principal
Researcher shaping next generation video codecs through his
significant contributions to the High Efficiency Video Codec (HEVC)
and Versatile Video Codec (VVC) and their specifications in the
MPEG standards. In 2013, Fabrice joined Technicolor Research and
Innovation (which was later acquired by InterDigital in 2019), but
he has been researching and contributing to the advancement of
video compression and codecs for nearly thirty years. At
InterDigital, Fabrice has dedicated his research to developing new
algorithms and improvements to achieve greater efficiencies from
state-of-the-art video compression.
With a strong competitive spirit and a drive to discover new
ideas and approaches to make video compression even more efficient,
Fabrice has patented innovations that unlock new avenues to reduce
the bitrate of compressed video while maintaining equivalent video
quality. As our communications and experiences become increasingly
rich with video data, Fabrice’s expertise and contributions to the
HEVC, VVC, and future-looking video codecs helps make seamless
streamed content delivery across devices possible.
Looking ahead, Fabrice is intrigued by the application of AI
within video compression and the ways it will influence new designs
of the codec and drive greater gains over state-of-the-art
solutions. Today, he remains a critical contributor and
collaborator within InterDigital’s Video Lab with research that is
consistently recognized by the MPEG and JVET standards
communities.
