Jehoshua (Shuki) Bruck is the Gordon and Betty Moore Professor of Computation and Neural Systems and Electrical Engineering at the California Institute of Technology. He was the founding Director of the Caltech Information Science and Technology (IST) program.

His research combines work on the design of distributed information systems and the theoretical study of biological circuits and systems. Please see the Paradise web page for details on his research group and recent (and old) technical reports.

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 extensive industrial experience, including working with IBM Research for ten years where he participated in the design and implementation of the first IBM parallel computer. He was co-founder and Chairman of Rainfinity (acquired in 2005 by EMC), a spin-off company from Caltech that focused on software products for management of network information systems.

Dr. Bruck is a Fellow of the IEEE, a recipient of the Feynman Prize for Excellence in Teaching, a Sloan Research Fellowship, a National Science Foundation Young Investigator Award, an IBM Outstanding Innovation Award and an IBM Outstanding Technical Achievement Award.

He published more than 200 journal and conference papers, and he holds more than 30 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 (joint with M. Franceschetti and L. J. Schulman) and the 2003 Best Paper Award in the 2003 Design Automation Conference (joint with M. Riedel).
