内森 · 梅尔沃德

1979级 科学硕士  发明家  多才多艺的人 企业家

在他的众多专利中，他最擅长的要数重塑自身

在内森·梅尔沃德成为微软成立的关键人物并担任技术主管之前，他在UCLA学习，19岁就获得数学专业的理科学士学位，地球物理和空间物理的科学硕士。在这，他练就了打破常规的能力。后来，他跟人合伙开办了一个名叫高智（Intellectual Ventures）的公司。这个公司用世人都没想到的方法解决世界上的问题，例如用自动激光射击空中的蚊子，组织疟疾的传播。他还是：获奖自然风景摄影师，现代厨师，获得比尔德厨师奖的作家，研究聪明的外星人的生活的研究员，世界野外烧烤冠军，古生物学家，火山探险家。梅尔沃德证明了伟大的自传不该只有一个标题。

Nathan Myhrvold

Class of 1979. MS 1979

Of all his patents he's best at reinventing himself.

Before Nathan Myhrvold went on to be a key player in the formation of Microsoft, where he served as Chief Technology Officer, he attended UCLA and earned a BS in mathematics and a MS in geophysics and space physics by age 19. Here he honed his ability to go beyond conventions. Myhrvold went on to co-found Intellectual Ventures, a company that approaches world problems in ways never before imagined–like automated lasers that shoot mosquitos out of the air to prevent the spread of malaria. He’s also: a prize-winning nature photographer; modernist chef; James Beard Award-winning author; a searcher for intelligent extra-terrestrial life; a World BBQ Champion; a paleontologist and a volcano explorer. Myhrvold is living proof that a great biography should have more than one title.‍
