I don't have personal knowledge about this but the wikipedia page on
berknet credits Eric Schmidt:

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berknet

and links to Eric Schmidt's master thesis on Berknet (postscript):

  http://web.mit.edu/daveg/Info/Links/doc/unix.manual.misc/berknet/berknet.PS

Eric Schmidt and Mike Lesk also wrote "lex", the unix lexical analyzer
program used primarily for compiler contruction, rewritten as 'flex'
(fast lex) on more modern systems.
