Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Template wrapper".Script error: No such module "Check for clobbered parameters". Eric Allen Brewer is professor emeritus of computer science at the University of California, Berkeley[1] and vice-president of infrastructure at Google.[2] His research interests include operating systems and distributed computing. He is known for formulating the CAP theorem about distributed network applications in the late 1990s.[3]
In 1996, Brewer co-founded Inktomi Corporation (bought by Yahoo! in 2003) and became a paper billionaire during the dot-com bubble.[4] Working with the United States federal government during the presidency of Bill Clinton, he helped to create USA.gov, which launched in 2000.[5] His research also included a wireless networking scheme called WiLDNet, which promises to bring low-cost connectivity to rural areas of the developing world.[6] He has worked at Google since 2011.[7]
Education
Brewer received a Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering and computer science (EECS) from UC Berkeley where he was a member of the Pi Lambda Phi fraternity.[8] Later he earned a Master of Science and PhD in EECS from MIT. He received tenure from UC Berkeley in 2000.[9]
Awards
In 1999, he was named to the MIT Technology Review TR100 as one of the top 100 innovators in the world under the age of 35.[10]
In 2007, Brewer was inducted as a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery "for the design of scalable, reliable internet services."[11][12] That same year, he was also inducted into the National Academy of Engineering "for the design of highly scalable internet services."[13]
Brewer is the 2009 recipient[14] of the ACM-Infosys Foundation Award in the Computing Sciences[15] "for his contributions to the design and development of highly scalable Internet services."
In 2009, Brewer received the SIGOPS Mark Weiser Award.[16]
In 2013, the ETH Zurich honored him with the title Dr. sc. tech. (Script error: No such module "Lang".).[17]
