Co-founder
Broadcom Corporation

About the Speaker:
Henry Samueli, Ph.D., is co-founder of Broadcom Corporation. Broadcom
was founded in 1991, and is a global leader in providing semiconductor
solutions for wired and wireless communications. Dr. Samueli is
responsible for driving the vision of Broadcom's research and
development activities, as well as helping coordinate corporate-wide
engineering development strategies. He has published more than 100
technical papers and is a named inventor of 50 U.S. patents.

The success of Broadcom Corporation has provided Dr. Henry and Susan
Samueli the opportunity to support many worthwhile nonprofit
organizations. Since Broadcom's initial public offering in 1998, the
Samueli Foundation has granted more than $200 million in gifts in the
areas of education, health, social services, religion and culture, and
the arts, including a $20 million donation to UC Irvine in 1999 that
enabled the School of Engineering to support faculty research through
endowed professorships, create competitive fellowships for graduate
students and competitive scholarships for undergraduates, and support
other priority projects in the school. In recognition of their support,
UC Irvine's engineering school was named The Henry Samueli School of
Engineering. In addition, they gave $1.5 million to the school, which
contributed to the establishment of the Center for Pervasive
Communications and Computing.

Dr. Samueli was elected a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers in 2000, a member of the National Academy of
Engineering in 2003, and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and
Sciences in 2004. He received a B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. in electrical
engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles in 1975, 1976
and 1980, respectively. 

The Entrepreneurship Seminar Series provides a real-world introduction
to the theory and practice of entrepreneurship.  Through a series of
presentations by prestigious entrepreneurs and industry leaders,
participants will explore the various organizational, strategic and
financial challenges facing successful and unsuccessful entrepreneurs.
Topics include start-up strategies, business idea evaluation, business
plan writing, and introduction to venture capital.  For a complete
