Professor John Hennessy is one of the most renowned Computer Scientists in the world and a pioneer in the field of RISC architecture. His books on Computer Architecture, co-authored with Dr. David Patterson, are one of the most widely read textbooks. Professor Hennessy is the President of the Stanford University. It is a matter of great pride for us that Professor Hennessy decided to interview with app2us.com last month.
In response to a question, Professor Hennessy said, “Stanford’s distinguishing characteristic is its pioneering spirit and focus on research that contributes to the public good. There is no better environment for innovation. The world today is facing enormous challenges, ranging from emerging infectious diseases that become global threats to the impact of climate change on our planet’s ecosystems, from threats of terrorism to the persistence of poverty. At Stanford, we believe we can help address these problems, both through groundbreaking research and through the education of the next generation of world leaders. For students who are interested in taking on the big challenges and making a difference, we hope you will consider applying to Stanford. We think you will find the university a place that will nurture your dreams and help you achieve your goals.” For the full interview, please visit the interview page.
