Craig Partridge

Chief Scientist
BBN Technologies

Short Bio

Dr. Craig Partridge is a Chief Scientist at BBN Technologies and works in the Internetwork Research Department. Craig has worked on internetworking problems at BBN for twenty years. Notable bits of work include designing how Internet email is routed, working with Phil Karn on TCP round-trip time estimation, and designing and building the world's fastest router in the mid-1990s. Craig has been an active member of ACM SIGCOMM and the IEEE Communications Society and chaired the National Research Council committee on how the Internet functioned on September 11, 2001. He has written over 25 journal and conference papers, and wrote the book Gigabit Networking (Addison-Wesley, 1994). A Fellow of the ACM and the IEEE, and a graduate of Woodrow Wilson High School in DC, Craig received his A.B., M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from Harvard University.
