    Michael Franklin, Peter Levine, Haoyuan Li, Michael Copeland

    Founded by Michael Franklin and Stoica, Amplab operates a unique open-source model that merges academic research with industry feedback to foster rapid innovation in big data and distributed systems. This approach has generated landmark technologies like Apache Spark and Mesos, with venture capital firm A16Z investing specifically in original inventors who transition from individual coders to business leaders. The lab now drives the next wave of infrastructure by shifting focus toward real-time analytics and edge computing, while addressing the critical challenges of commercializing open-source software.
