Len Shustek reviews his educational background in computer science (master and doctor of philosophy, Stanford University) by way of physics (bachelor and master of science, Polytechnic University in Brooklyn, NY). After graduation, he joined the faculty at Carnegie-Mellon University as an assistant professor of computer science. In 1979, he co-founded Nestar Systems Inc., an early producer of networked client-server computer systems.
