Paul Kunz
Paul Kunz received his Ph. D. from Princeton University in 1968 and first went to CERN that year to do an experiment as a member of the Saclay group. In 1971 he went on to Michigan State and worked on one of the first experiments at Fermilab. He joined SLAC in 1974 where he has been ever since.
In the late 1970s, Dr. Kunz invented the 168/E emulators and the concept of event processing via parallel processor farms, a forerunner of today's Linux cluster computing.. Dr. Kunz has been a pioneer amongst physics colleagues in adopting new computer technologies. Examples include his move to UNIX and object oriented programming over ten years ago. Lately, he has been giving a course, "C++ for Particle Physicists," a course that has now been held seventy one times all over the world for more than 2400 students.
