Early life and education

Raised in Montreal, Rosen became a student at Cooper Union and received his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering in 1940; he returned to Montreal to study at McGill University, where he received his M. Eng. (in communications) in 1950.

Career

While working at the General Electric Research Laboratory, in 1953 Rosen co-authored one of the first textbooks on transistor circuits. In 1956, Rosen received a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Syracuse University (with a minor in solid state physics).

In 1957, Rosen joined the Stanford Research Institute, where he did much of his artificial intelligence work.

In 1959, Rosen co-founded Ridge Vineyards with fellow computer scientist Hewitt Crane. Under Rosen's ownership, Ridge would go on to place fifth in the Judgment of Paris wine tasting.
