I think I have the best job in the company, says Stevie Bathiche, Distinguished Scientist of Windows Hardware at Microsoft, where hes worked since 1999. Bathiche is something of a mad scientist in residence, a guy whose job it is to tinker for a living-and to hire and manage a team of similarly curious tinkerers.
That team, about 20 people strong, is called the Applied Sciences Group, and is made up of a diverse collection of scientists and engineers. The Applied Sciences Groups fingerprints are everywhere, in algorithms for Kinect, in Microsofts multi-touch mouse, in some of the underlying technology of the Surface tablet and its accessories.
