Who was Rajeev Motwani? What did he do?

Most detailed answer (with original content) wins. Include photos/video if you can. Thanks
Tip for best answer: M$5.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Rajeev Motwani was a Stanford Professor that has died at the age of 45.
He was an early advisor and supporter of companies including Google Inc. and PayPal Inc.

Excerpt from Business Journal:

He is best known for advising Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page while they were studying at Stanford and later as they founded the Mountain View search giant. Brin wrote a tribute to his mentor on his blog: "Of all the faculty at Stanford, it is with Rajeev that I have stayed the closest and I will miss him dearly. Yet his legacy and personality lives on in the students, projects, and companies he has touched. Today, whenever you use a piece of technology, there is a good chance a little bit of Rajeev Motwani is behind it"
