Google is all about innovating the web experience with useful and easy-to use products, many of which have become a huge part of our lives both inside and outside of the classroom. Behind the scenes, these simple products are built upon hundreds of hard and interesting search-related problems in computer science, ranging from machine translation to data extraction. Johanna Wright will share some of the most intriguing search solutions that Google has been working on, in addition to the "secret sauce" innovation principles that keep Google's engine of innovation moving forward.
Johanna Wright is the Director of Product Management responsible for Web Search. She oversees the development of Google's search user interface and features and was the initial product lead on Universal Search, having driven it from inception to launch. Prior to Google, Johanna worked at a number of software start-ups in New York City.
The presentation is free and open to Cal Poly campus and the community.
