Luiz Andre BarrosoLuiz Andr� Barroso has worked across several engineering areas including software infrastructure, storage availability, energy efficiency, and hardware design. He was the first manager of Google's Platforms Engineering team, the group responsible fordesigning the company's computing platform. Prior to Google, he was a member of the research staff at Digital Equipment Corporation (later acquired by Compaq), where his group did some of the pioneering work on processor and memory system design for commercial workloads. That research led to the design of Piranha, a single-chip multiprocessor that helped inspire some of the multicore CPUs that are now in the mainstream. He has lectured at Pontif�cia Universidade Cat�lica (PUC)-Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) and Stanford University, holds a Ph.D. in computer engineering from the University of Southern California and B.S/M.S. degrees in electrical engineering from the PUC, Rio de Janeiro. Luiz is a Google Fellow, a Fellow of the ACM and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Read More Read Less
