Hello once again audience! Today, I reveal one of the masterminds behind the reputable Google, Sergey Brin! Sergey Brin was born on August 21, 1973 Moscow, Russia. Even though he was born in Russia, he is a Jewish american computer scientist and mathematician. When Sergey was at the age of 6, he moved to the U.S from the Soviet Union to an unknown reason. As time went on, Sergey earned an undergraduate degree following his father and grand father on mathematics and computer science at the University of Maryland. After his graduation he moved to the University of Stanford to acquire his P.h.D on computer science. There, he met Larry Page with, whom he later became friends with. They crammed their dormitory room with cheap computers and applied Sergey's ''Data Mining'' system to build a search engine that surpassed all. The engine soon became popular among his schoolmates and soon, they stopped their P.h.D studies to continue the research on Google in a rented garage. Continuing the talk about Sergey and his life, he married a woman with a Bachelor of Science degree in biology with the name of Anne Wojcicki. With the interest in human health, he and his wife did research about humans and health. In 2008 his mother became diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, the disease is usually not genetic but he shared a gene with his mother that increases the chance of contracting it to 20%-80%. On a happier note, he and his wife created 23andMe, it's named 23andMe because of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the normal human cell. 23andMe is a privately held genomics and biotechnology company that provides rapid genetic testing and compare their genetic makeup. That is my biography for Sergey Brin and next is my biography for Larry Page. Stay Tuned!
