Luiz André Barroso
Luiz André Barroso was a Google Fellow. Over his more than two decades at Google, he worked as a VP of Engineering in the Core and Maps teams, and as a technical leader in areas such as Google Search and the design of Google’s computing platform. Luiz published several technical papers and co-authored "The Datacenter as a Computer", the first textbook to describe the architecture of warehouse-scale computing systems, now in its 3rd edition. Luiz was a Fellow of the ACM and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, a member of the National Academy of Engineering, the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, and a recipient of the 2020 ACM/IEEE Computer Eckert-Mauchly Award. He held B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the Pontifícia Universidade Católica of Rio de Janeiro and a Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from the University of Southern California.
