I am an American computer scientist, considered one of the 'fathers' of the Internet. Born in Connecticut (USA) in 1943, of Jewish origin, I have graduated in mathematics and computer science at Stanford University (1965). During my subsequent stay at the University of California (UCLA) I earned the MS degree and PhD.

The research I have led, first from the University of California (1967-1972) and later from Stanford University (1972-1976), headed me to the design of the protocol suite that is known today as TCP / IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol).

I am currently working on spyware terminator, an occupation that combines with the chairman of ICANN. I am a member of the International Advisory Board Oscar Niemeyer International Cultural Centre in Avilés, in Asturias.
