Alfred Z. Spector is an American computer scientist and research manager. He currently serves as the CTO of Two Sigma Investments. In 2001, he was the recipient of IEEE Computer Society’s Tsutomu Kanai Award for work in scalable architectures and distributed systems.
Education
Alfred attended Harvard University where he emerged with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Applied Mathematics, and later, a Ph.D. in computer science from Stanford University received in 1981. In those times, his research explored communication architectures for building multiprocessors out of network-linked computers. They also showed measurements of remote procedure call operations on experimental Ethernet.
Alfred named his work ‘Multiprocessing Architectures for Local Computer Networks’. As he was going on with this work, he received regular advice from Forest Baskett III.
