Biography

Prior to joining the Princeton faculty in 1998, Ruby B. Lee served as the chief architect at Hewlett-Packard, where she was responsible for processor architecture and multimedia architecture security. She played a significant role in the evolution of the PA-RISC architecture used in HP servers and workstations and led the design of the CMOS PA-RISC single-chip microprocessor. Dr. Lee also directed an interdisciplinary team focused on architecture for pervasive multimedia information processing, resulting in the development of a family of desktop computers that integrated software-based, high-fidelity, real-time multimedia capabilities. Additionally, she co-led the multimedia architecture team for the IA-64. Alongside her full-time position at HP, she held the role of Consulting Professor of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University. Dr. Lee holds a Ph.D. and an M.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from Stanford University, as well as an A.B. with distinction from Cornell University, where she was named a College Scholar. She is a member of Phi Beta Kappa and Alpha Lambda Delta and has been granted 115 United States international patents, with additional patents pending.
