Henning Schulzrinne is a German-American computer engineer who led research and development of the voice over IP network protocols.
Life
Schulzrinne studied engineering management at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology of the German Technische Universität Darmstadt in Darmstadt, where he earned his Vordiplom (cf. Diplom), then went on to earn his M.Sc. at the University of Cincinnati and his Ph.D. at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
From 1992 to 1994 he worked for AT&T Bell Laboratories.
From 1994 to 1996 he worked in Berlin at the Forschungs-Institut für Offene Kommunikationssysteme (GMD FOKUS), an institute of the now-defunct Gesellschaft für Mathematik und Datenverarbeitung (GMD), which became part of the Fraunhofer Society as Fraunhofer Institute for Open Communication Systems. He joined the faculty of the Computer Science department at Columbia University in 1998, and served as chair and Julian Clarence Levi Professor.
He served as a co-chair of the Internet Technical Committee of the IEEE Communications Society.
Schulzrinne is an editor of the Journal of Communications and Networks.
Schulzrinne has contributed to standards for voice over IP (VoIP). He co-designed the Session Initiation Protocol along with Mark Handley, the Real Time Streaming Protocol, the Real-time Transport Protocol, the General Internet Signaling Transport protocol,
part of the Next Steps in Signaling protocol suite.{{Cite journal |title= General Internet Signalling Transport |author= Henning Schulzrinne, R.
