Hellerstein is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at the University of California, Berkeley. He is an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow, and a recipient of multiple awards, including NSF CAREER, NASA New Investigator, Okawa Foundation Fellowship, IBM's Best Paper in Computer Science, and ACM-SIGMOD's "Test of Time" award for his first published paper. In 1999, MIT's Technology Review named him one of the top 100 young technology innovators worldwide (TR100). Hellerstein's research focuses on data management and movement, including database systems, sensor networks, peer-to-peer and federated systems. Beginning in the fall of 2003, Hellerstein is on temporary leave from the University while serving as Director of Intel Research, Berkeley. Hellerstein was a co-founder of Cohera Corporation (now part of PeopleSoft), where he served as Chief Scientist from 1998-2001. He currently serves on the technical advisory boards of a number of software companies, and has served as a member of the advisory boards of ACM SIGMOD and Ars Digita University. Hellerstein received his Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, a masters degree from UC Berkeley, and a bachelor's degree from Harvard College. He spent a pre-doctoral internship at IBM Almaden Research Center, and a post-doctoral internship at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
