Education

[edit]

Stoica was born inRomania,where he grew up and attendedPolytechnic University of Bucharest,receiving a MS in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in 1989. He moved to the USA in 1994 to start aPhDatOld Dominion Universitywith computer-science professor Hussein Abdel-Wahab.[14][15]In 1996, he transferred toCarnegie Mellon University (CMU),where in 2000 he received a PhD in Electrical & Computer Engineering supervised byHui Zhang.[3][16]Subjects includedChord (peer-to-peer),Core-Stateless Fair Queueing (CSFQ), and Internet Indirection Infrastructure (i3).

Career and research

[edit]

Stoica has been aBerkeleyprofessor since 2000. His research interests includecloud computing,[17][18]networking,distributed systemsandbig data.[2]He has authored or co-authored more than 100peer reviewedpapers in various areas ofcomputer science.[2][19][20][21]

Stoica was a co-founder andChief Technology Officer (CTO)of Conviva in 2006,[22]a company that came out of theEnd System Multicastproject at CMU. In 2013 he co-foundedDatabricks,serving as its chief executive until being replaced byAli Ghodsiin January 2016, when he became executive chairman.[23]

He is one of the inventors ofdominant resource fairness.

Awards

[edit]

Stoica under the supervision of his doctoral advisor Hui Zhang won theAssociation for Computing MachineryPh.D. dissertation Award in 2001 for his thesisStateless Core: A Scalable Approach for Quality of Service in the Internet (2000).[16][24][25]Stoica is the recipient of aSIGCOMMTest of Time Award (2011), the 2007 CoNEXT Rising Star Award, a Sloan Foundation Fellowship (2003) and a PECASE Award (2002).
