Biography

Brian E. Carpenter joined the University of Auckland in September 2007. He was appointed Professor in January 2009 and retired from teaching in March 2012. For the rest of 2012 he was a visitor at the Computer Laboratory, University of Cambridge. He remains active as an Honorary Professor at the University of Auckland and in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).

Previously, he spent ten years with IBM at various locations, working on Internet standards and technology. From 1997 he was at IBM's Hursley Laboratory in England. From 1999 to 2001 he was at iCAIR, the international Center for Advanced Internet Research, sponsored by IBM at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. From 2002 he was based in Switzerland as a Distinguished Engineer and a member of the IBM Academy of Technology.

Before joining IBM, he led the networking group at CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, in Geneva, Switzerland, from 1985 to 1996. This followed ten years' experience in software for process control systems at CERN, interrupted by three years teaching undergraduate computer science at Massey University in New Zealand.

He holds a first degree in physics and a Ph.D. in computer science, and was a Chartered Engineer (UK). He has been an active participant in the Global Grid Forum, and in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), where he has worked on IPv6 and on Differentiated Services. He has also worked with the CERN Openlab for Datagrid Applications. He served from March 1994 to March 2002 on the Internet Architecture Board, which he chaired for five years. He also served as a Trustee of the Internet Society, and was Chairman of its Board of Trustees for two years until June 2002. He was Chair of the IETF from March 2005 to March 2007.
