Mr. Ganga is responsible for architecting next generation Ethernet technologies including higher speed Ethernet, I/O virtualization and data center communication technologies for LAN controller products. He has been with Intel for the past 10 years and has held various roles in hardware design, Engineering management, architecture, and product planning. Mr. Ganga has been contributing to the Ethernet standards development since 2004. He is currently serving as the Chief Editor of IEEE P802.3ba 40 Gb/s and 100 Gb/s Ethernet task force.

Mr. Goergen has more than 20 years of research experience in high-speed analog signaling. Prior to joining Force10, he headed research projects focused on high-speed copper signaling at Bell Labs, Ascend Communications, Transition Networks, and MTS Systems. Mr. Goergen actively participates in various standards bodies such as IEEE802, OIF, and ITU. In the IEEE, he helped define the IEEE P802.3z 1 Gigabit Ethernet standard, the IEEE P802.3ae 10 Gigabit Ethernet standard, and the IEEE P802.3ap 10 Gigabit Back Plane standard, and he is now working in the IEEE P802.3ba to develop the 100 Gigabit Ethernet standard.

Mr. Healey is engaged in the development of high-speed serial interface solutions. He is a contributor to industry standards and recently served as chairman for the IEEE P802.3ap Task Force, chartered to develop the standard for Ethernet operation over electrical backplanes. In addition, Mr. Healey was vice president of technology for the Ethernet Alliance during its inaugural year. He currently serves as secretary for the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Working Group.

Dr. Stauffer is also the chair of the OIF Physical and Link Layer Working Group. He serves as IBM’s representative to OIF and to the INCITS T11.2 Fibre Channel Physical Variants Task Group, and has contributed to standards development in both of these organizations. Dr. Stauffer has additionally co-authored presentations contributing to IEEE 802.3ap development.
