Leonard Kleinrock 
Professor Computer Science Department 3732 Boelter Hall (310) 825-2543 UCLA lk@cs.ucla.edu Los Angeles, CA 90024 www.lk.cs.ucla.edu Dr. Leonard Kleinrock is known as the Inventor of Internet Technology, having created the basic principles of packet switching—the technology underpinning the Internet—while a graduate student at MIT. This was a decade before the birth of the Internet, which occurred when his host computer at UCLA became the first node of the Internet in September 1969. He wrote the first paper and published the first book on the subject; he also directed the transmission of the first message ever to pass over the Internet. Dr. Kleinrock received his Ph.D. from MIT in 1963 and since then has served as a professor of computer science at the University of California, Los Angeles. He received his master’s degree from MIT in 1959, and his BSEE degree from CCNY in 1957. He also received an Honorary Doctor of Science from CCNY in 1997 and an Honorary Doctor of Science from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst in 2000. He was the first president and co-founder of Linkabit Corp., and founder/chairman of Nomadix, Inc. and Technology Transfer Institute—both hi-tech firms located in Southern California. He has published more than 220 papers and authored six books on a wide array of subjects including packet switching networks, packet radio networks, local area networks, broadband networks and gigabit networks. Additionally, Dr. Kleinrock has recently launched the field of nomadic computing, the emerging technology to support users as soon as they leave their desktop environments. Nomadic computing is turning out be the next major wave of the Internet. Dr. Kleinrock is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering. He is an IEEE fellow, ACM fellow, IEC fellow, INFORMS fellow, and a founding member of the Computer Science and Telecommunications Board of the National Research Council. Among his many honors, he is the recipient of the C.C.N.Y. Townsend Harris Medal, the CCNY Electrical Engineering Award, the Marconi Award, the L.M. Ericsson Prize, the NAE Charles Stark Draper Prize, the Okawa Prize, the IEEE Internet Millennium Award, the UCLA Outstanding Teacher Award, the Lanchester Prize, the ACM SIGCOMM Award, the Sigma Xi Monie Ferst Award, the INFORMS Presidents Award, and the IEEE Harry Goode Award.
