Ignacio M. Llorente

Ignacio Martín Llorente (born 1 July 1969) is an entrepreneur, researcher and educator in the field of cloud and distributed computing.[1][2][3] He is the Director of OpenNebula,[4] Visiting Scholar at Harvard University[5] and Full Professor at Complutense University.[6]

Llorente graduated in physics with a major in computer science in 1992 and obtained his Ph.D. in physics with a speciality in computer science in 1995 at the Complutense University of Madrid and an Executive MBA in 2003 from IE Business School. After finishing his Ph.D. on efficient execution of scientific applications on parallel computers,[7] he worked on parallel systems with different scaling models.[8][9] Llorente was promoted to associate professor at the Complutense University of Madrid in 1997, and from 1997 to 2002, he held consultancy positions at the Institute for Computer Applications in Science and Engineering at the NASA Langley Research Center.[10] At NASA he conducted research on multigrid methods[11] and their application to computational fluid dynamics,[12] and their parallel implementation.[13]

Since 2002, Llorente led the Distributed Systems Architecture Research Group, in large-scale distributed infrastructures, advanced virtualization technologies and distributed computing, and resource provision platforms. Supporting projects including the EU-funded RESERVOIR project.[14] He has focused his research on architectures,[15] meta-scheduling [16] and benchmarking[17] for grid computing; and cloud computing architectures[18] and federation.[19] These efforts have resulted in several open-source technologies, such as Globus, GridWay,[20] and OpenNebula.[21] Llorente was promoted to full professor in 2006. From 2002 to 2007, he also held a senior researcher position in the Advanced Computing Lab at CAB (CSIC/INTA center associated to NASA Astrobiology Institute). In 2009 Llorente co-founded and co-chaired the Open Grid Forum Working Group on the Open Cloud Computing Interface.[22] Since 2009 he participated in the European Cloud Computing Group of Experts.[23]

In 2010, he co-founded C12G Labs, a cloud computing technology start-up which leads OpenNebula development.
