responsibility for Google's day-to-day operations with Eric Schmidt and

Sergey Brin.

The son of Michigan State University computer science professor Dr.

following in his father's footsteps in academics, he became an honors

graduate from the University of Michigan, where he earned a bachelor's

degree in engineering, with a concentration on computer engineering.

During his time in Ann Arbor, Larry built an inkjet printer out of

Lego™ bricks.

While in the Ph.D. program in computer science at Stanford University,

Larry met Sergey Brin, and together they developed and ran Google,

which began operating in 1998. Larry went on leave from Stanford after

earning his master's degree.

In 2002, Larry was named a World Economic Forum Global Leader for

Tomorrow. He is a member of the National Advisory Committee (NAC) of

the University of Michigan College of Engineering, and together with
