Kurose studied physics at Wesleyan University with a bachelor's degree in 1978 and a master's degree (MS) in 1980 (as well as an M. Phil. Degree in 1982) and received a doctorate in computer science from Columbia University in 1984 . He is a professor of computer science at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst . There he was head of the Faculty of Computer Science as well as visiting scientist at IBM , the Eurecom Institute of INRIA , the University of Paris and the Technicolor research laboratories in France.

In 1997 he became an IEEE Fellow for contributions to the design of communication protocols for real-time systems and in 2002 a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery for contributions to the design and analysis of network protocols and his technical leadership role in this area . Kurose received the Outstanding Investigator Award from DARPA . He was editor of IEEE Transactions on Communications and was one of the founders of IEEE / ACM Transactions on Networking .

He wrote a popular textbook on computer networks with Keith W. Ross. Among other things, for this (and for other educational achievements for which he has received multiple awards), he received the 2001 Taylor Booth Award from the IEEE Computer Society . With Joseph Goldstein (Dean of Engineering at UMass), he founded an initiative to improve computer science education in Massachusetts high schools (Commonwealth Information Technology Initiative, CITI).

In 2020 Kurose was elected to the National Academy of Engineering .
