Jonathan S. Turner Biography

Jonathan S. Turner is one of the most popular and richest Engineer who was born on November 13, 1953 in Boston, Massachusetts, United States.

Once Turner graduated, he began attending Northwestern University for Computer Science graduate school, and simultaneously began working at Bell Labs as a member of their technical staff. In 1979, he received his M.S. in Computer Science from Northwestern, and continued on as a doctoral student under the supervision of Hal Sudborough. From 1981 to 1983, he became the principal system architect for the Fast Packet Switching project at Bell Labs. He received eleven patents for his work on the Fast Packet Switching project. In 1982 he published his doctoral dissertation, receiving his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Northwestern.

Turner joined Washington University in 1983 as an assistant professor in the Computer Science and Electrical Engineering departments. In 1986, he published a paper titled “New Directions in Communications (or Which Way to the Information Age)”, which forecast the convergence of data, voice, and video traffic on networks, and proposed scalable switching architectures to handle such a traffic load. This paper would later be reprinted in the 50th anniversary issue of the IEEE Communications Magazine as a “landmark article”. In 1988 he founded the Advanced Networking Group and co-founded the Applied Research Laboratory with Washington University colleagues Jerome R. Cox and Guru Parulkar. Turner directed the Applied Research Laboratory (ARL) from its inception to 2012, and directed the Advanced Networking group until it was subsumed by the ARL in 1992. He was promoted to full professor by 1990. He became the Computer Science department chair in 1992 and held this position through 1997. In 1998 Turner co-founded a company named Growth Networks—again in collaboration with Professors Jerome Cox and Guru Parulkar—which focused on high performance switching components for Internet routers and Asynchronous Transfer Mode switches. Turner was Chief Scientist at Growth Networks. In 2000 Cisco acquired Growth Networks for $355 million in stock, largely for the intellectual property and engineering talent. At the time of acquisition, Growth Networks had 55 employees. From 2007 to 2008 he again served as department chair of the Computer Science department. Turner retired from Washington University in 2014 after 30 years with the department. He is now a Senior Professor for the department, and still likes to perform research when he is not sailing the Florida coast or playing tennis with his wife.
