On 12 December 1991, Dr. Kunz installed the first Web server outside of Europe at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. Today, if you do not have access to the Web you are considered disadvantaged.
Before it made sense for Tim Berners-Lee to invent the Web at CERN, there had to a number of ingredients in place. Dr. Kunz will present a history of how these ingredients developed and the role the academic research community had in forming them. In particular, the role that big science, such as high energy physics, played in giving us the Web we have today.
Dr Kunz received his PhD from Princeton University in 1968 and first went to CERN that year to do an experiment as a member of the Saclay group. He then went on to Michigan State in 1971 and worked on one of the first experiments at Fermilab. He joined SLAC in 1974 where he has been ever since.
In late '70s, Dr Kunz invented the 168/E emulators and the concept of event processing via parallel processor farms. Dr. Kunz has been a pioneer amongst physics colleagues in adapting new computer technologies such as his move to UNIX and object oriented programming over ten years ago. Lately, he has been giving a course: "C++ for Particle Physicists" which he has now given 51 times all over the world to over 1700 students.
