Silicon Valley Mourns Google Mentor, Rajeev Motwani

Avid google users and computer programmers will mourn the passing of Rajeev Motwani, mentor of Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page. Indian born and educated, Rajeev Motwani taught computer science at Stanford University. Computer scientists praise his untiring mentorship of young scientists and support of start-up computer science ventures.

Rajeev Motwani wrote texbooks and co-authored Randomized Algorithms, and pioneered various research projects at Stanford University. He was the recipient of the Arthur Sloan Fellowship, Okawa Foundation Research Award and the Godel Prize.

It seems like Google has been there forever and not a day goes by when internet users do not google. Rajeet Motwani together with its young founders made it happen.
