* Cedric F. Lam is a Principal Engineer in the Google Technical Infrastructure team. He is now leading the developments of cluster network architecture and coherent-lite optical interconnect for datacenter applications. Cedric first joined Google in 2009 as an optical network architect. He was a cofounder of the Google Fiber program which changed the landscape of broadband access networks in North America.
Before Google, Cedric was the Chief System Architect of Opvista, a startup company on optical transport network equipment. He also worked at AT&T Labs Research on broadband access networks. Throughout his career, Cedric worked on wireline and wireless network technologies, long haul, metro, access and short reach optical interconnect technologies. Cedric is a Fellow of Optica.
** Dr. Michael L. Norman is a distinguished professor of physics at UC San Diego and a globally recognized computational astrophysicist. Dr. Norman directed the San Diego Supercomputer Center from 2009-2020 and served as principal investigator for the Gordon, Comet, and Expanse NSF HPC systems. Dr. Norman is a pioneer in using advanced computational methods to explore the universe and its beginnings. In this capacity, he has directed the Laboratory for Computational Astrophysics -- a collaborative effort between UC San Diego and SDSC resulting in the Enzo community code for astrophysics and cosmology in use worldwide.
Dr. Norman is the author of over 300 research articles in diverse areas of astrophysics, including star and galaxy formation, the evolution of intergalactic medium, as well as numerical methods. Dr. Norman's work has earned him numerous honors, including Germany's prestigious Alexander von Humboldt Research Prize, the IEEE Sidney Fernbach Award, and several HPCC Challenge Awards. He also is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the American Physical Society. He holds an M.S. and Ph.D. in engineering and applied sciences from UC Davis, and in 1984 completed his post-doctoral work at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Garching, Germany. From 1986 to 2000, Dr. Norman held numerous positions at the University of Illinois in Urbana, as an NCSA associate director and senior research scientist under Larry Smarr, and as a professor of astronomy. From 1984 to 1986, he was a staff member at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
