Born in Aurora, Ontario, he holds a Ph.D. and an MSc in Computer Science from the University of California, Berkeley and a B.Math in Computer Science from the University of Waterloo. He was involved in Informed Prefetch Computing and Network-Attached Secure Disks, a precursor to the SCSI Object storage device command set. Gibson was the initial director of the Parallel Data Laboratory at Carnegie Mellon University, and is also founder and Chief Technology Officer for Panasas, an enterprise storage hardware and software company.
In 2005 he became the 11th awardee of the J.W. Graham Medal, named in honor of Wes Graham an early influential Professor of Computer Science at the University of Waterloo, and annually awarded to an influential alumnus of the University's Faculty of Mathematics.[1]
