Dr. Henry Samueli is co-founder, chairman of the board, and chief
technical officer 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 in 40 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 Samueli's 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.
