Nevin Liber
Argonne National Laboratory Computer Scientist
Libertyville, Illinois
Back when I started out working at Bell Labs, a friend of mine from Apple called and asked “What do you know about C++? You folks invented it!” That was enough to get a relatively shy junior engineer to go find the local expert so he could go play with it, and the rest is history! I've worked in C++ across various industries and platforms (big data, low-latency, operating systems, embedded, telephony and now exascale computing, just to name a few). I've also been a C++ Committee member since 2010 and hosted both the C++ and C standards meetings in Chicago in 2013. I'm also a member of the SYCL Committee and work on Kokkos as part of my day job.
