Tani has played leadership roles in a number of companies that made technological breakthroughs, and
led the development effort towards successful product delivery. During her versatile career she
worked in the fields of compilers and runtime systems, parallel computing, speech recognition,
storage and high availability, and more, in management roles as well as development, architecture
and design. Tani has led software development groups at Availl, EMC, Dragon Systems,
Kendall Square Research, and others, and worked at IBM T.J. Watson Research Center. Tani holds a
B.Sc. in Mathematics from Ben Gurion University in Israel.
John is a professor of Computer Science at the University of California at Santa Barbara. He is a preeminent authority in the field of graph theory, and his research interests are in combinatorial scientific computing, tools and software for computational science and engineering, numerical linear algebra, smart matter and systemic MEMS, and distributed sensing and control. Previously, John was a principal scientist at Xerox PARC, has taught computer science at Cornell University. Earlier in his career he was systems programmer and research assistant at the Los Alamos National Laboratory.
Dan is President of Chainwave Systems, Inc. a technology-consulting firm, and has been an investor and advisor to several early-stage technology companies. He has been involved in the founding of several companies, from software to insurance, materials science, and accounting. From 1995-1996, Dan was the Embedded Systems Manager at Pixel Magic Inc. in Andover where he was responsible for the development of board level image processing systems. Prior to these ventures, he transformed Jackson Hewitt Tax Service into a major competitor in electronic tax preparation. Jackson Hewitt was a small regional tax service in Virginia in 1988 when Dan formed a team that developed its next generation technology infrastructure. The software eventually included federal and state tax preparation, electronic filing, and financial processing, enabling the company to compete with the industry giant H&R Block. The company went public in 1992, and Dan served as a Director and the Vice President of Technology from 1992 to 1995. The company was sold to Cendant in November 1997 for $480 million and now has over 3000 offices.
Charles is a professor of Computer Science and Engineering in MIT's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS). He is a member of MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), a member of the Lab's Theory of Computation Group (TOC), and head of its Supercomputing Technologies Group (SuperTech). Prof. Leiserson's research centers on developing theoretical principles of parallel and distributed computing, especially as they relate to engineering reality. He pioneered the development of VLSI theory and has written many papers on VLSI algorithms, graph layout, and computer-aided design. He has designed and engineered many parallel algorithms, including ones for matrix linear algebra, graph algorithms, optimization, and sorting. Prof. Leiserson's recent research has focused on dynamic, asynchronous parallel computing.
Phil has extensive experience in the application of leading-edge technology to complex engineering problems.
