Vint Cerf Global Vice President of Google

Vint Cerf, one of the co designers of Internet basic protocol - TCP/IP protocol and Internet architecture, Google's global vice president and one of the founders of Internet. In the 1970s, Vint Cerf once participated in the early development and construction of the Internet and won the reputation of "the father of the Internet".

In December 1997, President Clinton awarded Dr. Cerf and his colleague Robert E. Kahn the National Technology Medal of the United States in recognition of their contributions to the creation and development of the Internet. In 2004, Dr. Kahn and Dr. Cerf were awarded the A.M. Turing Award by the American Computer Society (ACM) for their outstanding achievements in Internet protocols. Some people call the Turing Prize "the Nobel Prize in computer science".

In November 2005, President George Bush awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Kahn and Dr. Cerf, which is the highest civil honor granted by the United States government to its citizens.

Cerf holds a master's and doctoral degree in computer science from the University of California, Los Angeles.

When Vinton Cerf invented the TCP/IP protocol of the Internet in the 1980s, he did not sit quietly, but stayed in MCI Communication Company for several years to strengthen transmission and security protocols. He also worked hard to improve TCP/IP to make it have a deeper and wider application space.

In 2005, he became Google's chief Internet propagandist and chairman of ICANN. Cerf is continuing his research on TCP/IP in NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and will test hostile mobile land environment in outer space experiments in 2011.

At the same time, Cerf's work at Google enables him to discuss strategies with governments and enterprises on topics such as IPv6 and the security scope of the domain name system. Maybe Cerf can't "invent" another Internet, but obviously he will leave his mark in the future Internet world. "Digital information economics is changing the business model and turning what seemed incredible 10 years ago into reality. I can hardly wait to see the changes Google will bring in the next 10 years and the 21st century," Cerf said.

Prior to joining MCI in 1994, Dr. Cerf served as Vice President of National Research Initiative (CNRI). During his tenure as Vice President of MCI Digital Information Services from 1982 to 1986, he led the development of MCI Mail Service, which is the first commercial email service connected to the Internet in the world. From 1976 to 1982, Dr. Cerf served in the Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) of the US Department of Defense. He played a key role in the development of the Internet and Internet related data packets and security technologies.
