Kurose studied physics at Wesleyan University with a bachelor's degree in 1978 and a master's degree (MS ) in 1980 ( and an M. Phil degree in 1982 ) and received his 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 on the board of the faculty of computer science and a visiting scientist at IBM, the Eurecom Institute of INRIA, the University of Paris and the Technicolor research laboratories in France.

In 1997 he became 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 its technical leadership in this area. Kurose received the Outstanding Investigator Award from DARPA. He was editor of the IEEE Transactions on Communications and was a founder of the IEEE / ACM Transactions on Networking.

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