Dr. Casado started this fund to encourage students following in his academic footsteps at Northern Arizona University.

Dr. Casado joined VMware in August of 2012 with the acquisition of Nicira Networks, a company he co-founded. Dr. Casado co-founded software-defined networking and was recognized for the work by ACM with the Grace Murray Hopper award for the Outstanding Young Computer Professional of the Year for 2012-2013. While at Stanford, Dr. Casado co-founded Illuminics Systems, as IP analytics company, which was acquired by Quova Inc. in 2006. Prior to attending Stanford, Dr. Casado held a research position at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory where he worked on network security in the information operations assurance center (IOAC). Dr. Casado received his Masters in Science and PhD from Stanford University in Computer Science, and his Bachelor of Science from Northern Arizona University in Computer Science and Engineering.
