2014年大数据行业最顶尖的人才有哪些？《财富》选出20位明星

    Dropbox首席科学家西尔瓦诺斯•李

    有“神童”之称的西尔瓦诺斯•李只花了短短两年时间，就从斯坦福大学获得了计算机科学与数学的双学位。他在毕业后直接进入了金融行业，但是科技业的诱惑还是太强了，于是他在2012年加盟Dropbox。凭借其商业背景和科技知识，他成立了一支团队，专门从事数据学研究。他曾经负责过一个叫做Project Harmony的通讯软件，它使Dropbox的用户可以实时查看其他用户对共享文档的修改，并可与其进行讨论。另一个跟销售有关的项目是查看是否有来自同一家公司的员工在同时使用Dropbox，如果有就为他们提供超值套餐。西尔瓦诺斯•李的老板王晨立（音译）表示：“他的背景横跨科技、数学和商业实务，非常难得。这使他的数据科学研究鹤立鸡群。”——Shalene Gupta

    Silvanus Lee, Lead Scientist, Dropbox

    Wunderkind Silvanus Lee graduated from Stanford University in only two-and-a-half years with a double major in computer science and mathematics. He went straight to the financial industry after graduation, but the allure of the tech industry was too strong, and he joined Dropbox in 2012. There, he used his business background and technical know-how to start a team dedicated to data science. One of his projects is called Project Harmony, communication software to let Dropbox users discuss changes to documents as they work on them. Another marketing-related project is focused on figuring out if users from the same company are on Dropbox so that the company can offer them a premium package. “He has an incredible background that spans the technical, math and real world context,” his boss ChenLi Wang says. “It sets his data science apart.” —Shalene Gupta
