Pioneers in their
fields, the HP Fellows set the standards for technical excellence
and drive the direction of research in their respective disciplines.
They are creating the future in fundamental areas, from computer
architecture, nanometer-scale electronics and data compression,
to the dynamics of information.
Here's a brief look at their work and lives:
Senior Fellows
Bernardo
Huberman is leading a new research effort
in information dynamics, examining the relationship between
the local actions and the global behavior of large distributed
systems such as the Internet. Huberman, a Fellow of the
American Physical Society, is one of the creators of
the field of ecology of computation.
Abraham
Lempel is a co-creator of the Lempel-Ziv
algorithm, which allows data to be compressed and transmitted
over the Internet efficiently, without dropping any data
along the way. Lempel, an IEEE fellow, heads HP Labs
- Israel and HP's Advanced Studies program, overseeing
basic research at HP.
Robert
E. Tarjan is a well-known expert in the
design and analysis of computer algorithms. He is a member
of Hewlett Packard's Office of Strategy and Technology.
Among other honors, Tarjan received the first Nevanlinna
Prize in Information Science in 1983 and the Turing Award
in 1986.
Stan
Williams leads HP's quantum science research,
exploring new approaches to nanometer-scale electronics
that could become the integrated circuits of the future.
Among other honors, Williams is a winner of the Feynman
Prize for Nanotechnology and the Julius Springer Award
for Applied Physics.
Other HP Fellows in HP Labs
Umesh
Dayal is a widely known expert in
data management, data mining, and business-process management
who has made fundamental contributions to the field. He currently
leads the intelligent enterprise research program, which
combines decision technologies, business-process management
and enterprise solutions technologies.
Norman
Jouppi is recognized for his groundbreaking
work in the design and analysis of high-performance micro
processors and memory systems. He is currently leading
the HP Labs effort to design and develop advanced architectures
for data systems.
Jeff Mogul has
contributed extensively to the understanding and design of
Internet protocols and servers, especially but not exclusively
concerning HTTP. He likes to work at the boundary between
networks and operating systems, and at the boundary between
corporate and academic research.
Chandrakant Patel, known for his pioneering work in energy-efficient computing, is responsible for strategically engaging in thermo-mechanical research for future microprocessors, workstations, servers and data centers. His research now focuses on developing a "smart" data center that integrates power, cooling and system architecture.
David P. Reed one
of the pioneers of the Internet, is recognized as a worldwide
expert on networks, decentralized computing platforms, and
group information systems. Reed contributed significantly
to the TCP/IP technology that underlies today's Internet
and World Wide Web, and is now concentrating on network adaptability
and scalability and on wireless network architectures.
Ronald Schafer
is recognized as one of the world's leading
authorities on digital signal processing. Schafer, who
co-authored the digital signal processing field's definitive
guide and did some of the earliest research in the field,
is currently exploring problems of acoustic signal processing
for audio communication and entertainment.
John Wilkes is
known for his contributions to the understanding of computer
storage systems, especially in the area of storage management
technology. He enjoys the intermingling of technology from
distributed systems and operating systems with that of storage,
as well as building bridges to the academic community.
