Terman, Frederick
Considered the father of Silicon Valley, he was a student at MIT around 1930 until he contracted tuberculosis which caused him to stay at Stanford University, where he ended up teaching. He cajoled two of his students, William Hewlett and David Packard, to form a company near the Palo Alto campus(resulting in Hewlett-Packard) and pioneered the creation of Stanford Research Park.
