| Alex Cavalli, Ph.D., Chief Technology Officer and Board Member |
| A veteran of the Austin high-tech community since 1984, Cavalli was formally Deputy Director of the IC2 (Innovation, Creativity & Capital) Institute at the University of Texas. Dr. Cavalli and his staff created the foundation for much of what is now recognized as the Internet. Working with leading universities and corporations and supported by US government funding, the EINet project was designed to demonstrate how electronic commerce would work and what network infrastructure was necessary to support it. This seminal work included the creation of the first Internet search engine, introduced in January 1994. Called EINet Galaxy, it became the model for every search engine that followed. Dr. Cavalli’s team also developed the first commercial quality web browsers that introduced many of the features found today in the Netscape and Internet Exlorer browsers. The team also developed the first Virtual Private Network and operated as the Internet’s first Certification Authority, a function now embodied in companies such as VeriSign and GTE CyberTrust. In addition, Dr. Cavalli and his team, in collaboration with CitiCorp, devised new electronic payment mechanisms for use by businesses engaged in Electronic Commerce. Dr. Cavalli holds a Ph.D. in Physics from Dartmouth College and a B.S. from Dickinson College. |
