Ion Stoica is a Romanian-American computer scientist specializing in distributed systems, cloud computing and computer networking.[8][6][9][10] He is a professor of computer science at the University of California Berkeley and co-director of AMPLab. He co-founded Conviva, and Databricks, with other original developers of Apache Spark.[2][11]

Education[]

Stoica was born and raised in Romania and educated at the Polytechnic University of Bucharest, graduating with a Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 1989. He went on to study at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) gaining a Ph.D. in Electrical & Computer Engineering in 2000 supervised by Hui Zhang.[7][12] Subjects included Chord (peer-to-peer), Core-Stateless Fair Queueing (CSFQ), and Internet Indirection Infrastructure (i3).

Career and research[]

Stoica's research interests include cloud computing,[13][14] networking, distributed systems and big data.[6] He authored or co-authored more than 100 peer reviewed papers in various areas of computer science.[6][15][16]

Stoica was a co-founder and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Conviva in 2006,[17] a company that came out of the End System Multicast project at CMU. In 2013 he co-founded Databricks, serving as its chief executive until being replaced by Ali Ghodsi in January 2016, when he became executive chairman.[18]

Awards[]

Stoica won the Association for Computing Machinery doctoral dissertation Award in 2001.[12][19] Stoica is the recipient of a SIGCOMM Test of Time Award (2011), the 2007 CoNEXT Rising Star Award, a Sloan Foundation Fellowship (2003) and a PECASE Award (2002). Stoica is also an ACM Fellow.[5] In 2019, Stoica received the SIGOPS Mark Weiser Award.[20]
