5G: Enabled by Technology, With Public Policy Assist |
|
In keeping with our Hawai‘i 5G theme, Dr. Henning Schulzrinne, Chief Technologist of the US Federal Communications Commission and Levi Professor of Computer Science at Columbia University, will present a keynote address sharing his insight on the future of wireless data and the role of public policy. Prof. Schulzrinne received his Ph.D. from the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, Massachusetts. He was an MTS at AT&T Bell Laboratories and an associate department head at GMD-Fokus (Berlin), before joining the Computer Science and Electrical Engineering departments at Columbia University. He served as chair of the Department of Computer Science from 2004 to 2009, as Engineering Fellow at the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 2010 and 2011, and as Chief Technology Officer at the FCC from 2012 until 2014. He returned to the FCC as CTO and senior advisor for technology at the agency's office of strategic planning and policy analysis. Protocols that he co-developed, such as RTP, RTSP and SIP, are now Internet standards, used by almost all Internet telephony and multimedia applications. Prof. Schulzrinne is a Fellow of the ACM and IEEE. |
