His 1971 doctoral thesis Computational algorithms for closed queueing networks with exponential servers has guided the study of queueing network modeling. Born in Brooklyn, Buzen received a Bachelor of Science in applied mathematics from Brown University (1965), and at Harvard University received a Master of Science He was a systems programmer at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Doctor of Medicine (1967-1969), studying the performance of realtime systems, which led to his first publication in a 1969 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers conference.
From 1971 to 1976, he held various appointments as a Lecturer in Computer Science at Harvard, and as a Systems Engineer at Honeywell.
Some of his students at Harvard have gone on to become well known figures in the computer industry. Robert M. Metcalfe co-invented Ethernet, John M. McQuillan developed routing algorithms used by ARPAnet, and Bill Gates co-founded Microsoft.
His career in computer performance analysis has included the creation of several fundamental mathematical models and analysis procedures used in operational research, and the development of tools based on these models and procedures. With fellow Harvard applied mathematics Doctor of Philosophy.s Robert Goldberg and Harold Schwenk he co-founded Bachelor of General Studies Systems in 1976 to support and market these tools, serving as its vice president in charge of R&Doctorate until Bachelor of General Studies Systems merged with Business Service Management Software in 1998.
