Barbara J. & Jerome R. Cox, Jr. Professor of Computer Science
Expertise: fiber optics, data transfer, telecommunications, Bell Labs, algorithms
Bio:
Pioneered the development of high-speed, fiber optic packet systems with capability of sending large amounts of data from one sender to millions. Developed what many consider to be the best asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) switch in the world. Works on a variety of telecommunications applications. Biomedical telecommunications, allowing remote rural medical facilities to link up with major urban hospitals, is a major forte. Named on the "Top 10 Visionaries" in the data networking field by Communications Week.

| A router in the new Open Network Laboratory, funded by NSF. |
A novel networking service has been made available to the research community by computer scientists at Washington University in St. Louis, enabling researchers and students remote, free use of the latest networking technology. Ultimately, the new Open Network Laboratory (ONL )can lead to innovations that can expand the capability of the Internet and other networking environments, said its director, Jonathan S. Turner, Ph.D., Henry Edwin Sever Professor of Engineering, and professor of computer science and engineering at WUSTL.

Additional Background: Turner began his professional career in 1977 at Bell Laboratories where he developed diagnostic software for telephone switching systems and became the principal system architect in Bell Labs' first applied research program on fast-packet switching.
Since coming to Washington University in 1983, he has led a major research effort on multipoint Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) networks. He has been awarded about 20 patents for his work on switching systems.
In his doctoral work, he has made fundamental contributions to the theory of self-stabilization, which allows distributed algorithms to recover from arbitrary faults. has many widely cited publications in this area. His research ideas have been successfully transferred to a commercial ATM switch product which currently provides the best cost-performance ratio of any on the market.
He is a Fellow of the IEEE and an Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Networking.
