Brian Carpenter (engineer)
Résumé
Brian Edward Carpenter (born 30 May 1946) is a British Internet engineer and a former chair of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the Internet Architecture Board (IAB), and the Internet Society.
Carpenter was born in Leicester, England, and was educated at the Wyggeston Grammar School for Boys in Leicester. He earned a master's degree in physics from Downing College at Cambridge University, and MSc and PhD degrees in computer science from The University of Manchester.
Carpenter spent 25 years, from 1971 to 1996, working at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN). He initially wrote software for process control systems and later served as the head of the networking group from 1985 to 1996, working alongside Robert Cailliau and Tim Berners-Lee, who invented the World Wide Web.
He took three years off of his CERN career to teach undergraduate computer science at Massey University in New Zealand.
When Carpenter left CERN, he joined IBM, where he was an IBM Distinguished Engineer working on Internet Standards and Technology between 1997 and 2007. From 1999 to 2001 he was at iCAIR, international Center for Advanced Internet Research, sponsored by IBM at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. Upon leaving iCAIR, he was based in Switzerland, first in Zurich, then Geneva.
In September 2007, Carpenter left IBM for academia, teaching data communication at the University of Auckland, from 2007 until his retirement in 2012. After his retirement, he spent a year as a visiting professor at the Computer Laboratory of Cambridge University. Since then he has been an honorary academic at The University of Auckland and a consultant for Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd.
In 2013, Carpenter published a professional memoir called Network Geeks: How They Built the Internet.
Carpenter's research interests include Internet protocols, especially the networking and routing layers. He is also interested in the history of computing.
Carpenter has worked on IPv6 and on differentiated services and served as the DiffServ working group chair.
