Early life and education[edit]
As a child, Iwao became interested in pi.[3] She was inspired by Japanese mathematicians, including Yasumasa Kanada.[8] She studied computer science at the University of Tsukuba, where she was taught by Daisuke Takahashi.[9][10] She was awarded the Dean's Award for Excellence in 2008, before starting graduate studies in computing. Her master's dissertation considered high performance computer systems.[citation needed] After graduating, Iwao took on several software engineering positions, working on site reliability for Panasonic, GREE and Red Hat.[10]
Career[edit]
Iwao joined Google as a Cloud Development Advocate in 2015.[3] She originally worked for Google in Tokyo, before moving to Seattle in 2019.[2] Iwao offers training in the use of the Google Cloud Platform (GCP), as well as supporting application developers.[11][12][13][14] She works to make cloud computing accessible for everyone, creating online demos and teaching materials.[15]
In March 2019 Iwao calculated the value of pi to 31.4 trillion digits, using 170 Terabytes (TB) of data.[3][8][16][17][1][18] The calculation used a multithreaded program called y-cruncher using over 25 machines for 121 days.[3][19][15]
