Jothy Rosenberg has a PhD in computer science (VLIS computer-aided design algorithms) from Duke University where he stayed on as professor for five years building space-flyable massively parallel single-instruction multiple-data architecture supercomputers. He caught the entrepreneurial bug and turned that works into a supercomputer startup in California called MasPar. Then he did a five-year stint at a large software company called Borland. Borland shipped him off to Boston where he has remained for 18 years. Jothy has gone on to found eight additional startups. During this time he also wrote three technical books: How Debuggers Work, Securing Web Services, and The Cloud at Your Service. He also wrote an inspirational memoir called Who Says I Can't that recounts how he used extreme sports to recover from a disability. Rosenberg currently is Associate Director of the Cyber Systems Group and Executive Director of the Center for Inherent Security at Draper Laboratory in Cambridge. Prior to Draper, Rosenberg was Technical Director at BAE Systems where he was PI or co-PI on several large DARPA cyber security programs including CRASH (Clean-slate Redesign of Adaptive Secure Hosts) and MRC (Mission-oriented Resilient Clouds).
