JD Albert (born April 18, 1975) is an American engineer, inventor, and educator.
Albert is one of the inventors of microencapsulated electrophoretic display (known as E Ink) commonly used in electronic devices such as e-readers.
MIT Media Lab professor Joseph Jacobson recruited them to create a technology that mimicked pages in a book.
In 1997, after a year of research and experimentation, Comiskey and fellow MIT undergraduate JD Albert realized a working prototype.
In 1997, Albert, Comiskey and Jacobson along with Russ Wilcox and Jerome Rubin founded E Ink Corporation.
