Nevin Liber is a Computer Scientist in the ALCF (Argonne Leadership Computing Facility) division of the Argonne National Laboratory in the U.S., where he works on Kokkos (C++ performance portability ecosystem), SYCL (abstraction for heterogeneous device programming) and Aurora (one of the world's first exascale supercomputers).

In 2010 he went to his first ISO WG21 C++ Committee meeting, got bit by the standardization bug, and has been a committee member ever since. Excited by it, he convinced his employer at the time to host both the C++ and C standards meetings in Chicago in 2013. Since joining Argonne, he has expanded this role by becoming the Admin Chair, Vice Chair for LEWGI/SG18 (Library Evolution Working Group Incubator), and the Vice Chair of the U.S. Delegation. On the SYCL Committee he is also the SYCL C++ Compatibility Task Sub Group Chair. He is also now involved with WG14 C standardization.
