Produktbeschreibung

Jerry Cox traces the story of his event-filled life from his childhood in Indiana, through his brief stint in the Army, education at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and his illustrious career in Boston and in Saint Louis. Jerome R. Cox, Jr., was born in Washington, DC in 1925 and throughout his life has been known as 'Jerry.' He served briefly in the armed forces during WWII and then attended Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), obtaining BS, MS, and ScD degrees, all in Electrical Engineering. In 1955, the famous auditory physiologist Hallowell Davis recruited him to the Central Institute for the Deaf, where he led the development of a special-purpose digital computer used by Davis to create the field of evoked response audiometry. Dr. Cox established the Biomedical Computer Laboratory in 1964, pioneering the application of digital computers to medical research. In that same year, the personal computing pioneer, Wesley A. Clark, moved from MIT to join Dr. Cox at Washington University. In 1974, Dr. Cox became the founding chair of the Washington University Computer Science Department, leading it until 1991. He co-founded Growth Networks Incorporated, a network switching company whose chip designs are found in the world's highest-performing routers. Dr. Cox is a member of both the National Academy of Medicine and the National Academy of Inventors.
