Mr. Muuss is the principle architect of BRL-CAD®, a third-generation constructive solid geometry CAD/CAE system, which is now in use at over 3000 sites, supporting very fast ray tracing of extremely large geometric models (up to 1 trillion polygon equivalents). He contributed significantly to the design and development of ARL's network infrastructure, one of the best within DoD. His early contributions to the development of TCP/IP and the InterNet include the PING program and default route for UNIX, and editing the TCP-IP digest and UNIX-Wizards digest.
Mr. Muuss was born in 1958, received a BES in Electrical Engineering from the Johns Hopkins University in 1979, and has subsequently received numerous awards and citations for his work, and is a two-time winner of the U.S. Army Research and Development Achievement Award.
