Jehoshua (Shuki) Bruck is the Gordon and Betty Moore Professor of
Computation and Neural Systems and Electrical Engineering at the
California Institute of Technology.  His research combines work on the
design of distributed information systems and the theoretical study of
biological circuits and systems.

Dr. Bruck founded the Information Science and Technology (IST) program
at Caltech and served as its first director. IST is the first
integrated research and teaching activity in the country that
investigates information from all angles: from the fundamental
theoretical underpinnings of information to the science and engineering
of novel information substrates, biological circuits, and complex
social systems

He received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in electrical engineering from
the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology, in 1982 and 1985,
respectively and the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from
Stanford University in 1989.

Dr. Bruck has an extensive industrial experience, including working
with IBM Research where he participated in the design and
implementation of the first IBM parallel computer. He was a co-founder
and chairman of Rainfinity, a spin-off company from Caltech that
focused on software products for management of network information
storage systems.

He is an IEEE fellow, and his awards include the National Science
Foundation Young Investigator award and the Sloan fellowship. He
published more than 200 journal and conference papers and he holds 25
US patents. His papers were recognized in journals and conferences,
including, winning the 2005 S. A. Schelkunoff Transactions prize paper
award from the IEEE Antennas and Propagation society and the Best Paper
Award in the 2003 Design Automation Conference.
