Professor Leonard Kleinrock is Distinguished Professor of Computer Science at UCLA. Known as a “Father of the Internet”, he developed the mathematical theory of packet networks, the technology underpinning the Internet, while a graduate student at MIT. This was in the period 1960-1962, nearly a decade before the birth of the Internet which occurred in his laboratory when his Host computer at UCLA became the first node of the Internet in September 1969.
