Biography

A native of Pittsburgh, Morris received a Bachelor's degree from Carnegie Mellon University, an S.M. in Management from the MIT Sloan School of Management, and Ph.D. in Computer Science from MIT.[2]

Morris taught at the University of California, Berkeley, where he developed some important underlying principles of programming languages: inter-module protection and lazy evaluation.[2] He was a co-discoverer of the Knuth–Morris–Pratt algorithm for string-search.[2]

For eight years, he worked at the Xerox PARC (Palo Alto Research Center), where he was part of the team that developed the Xerox Alto System.[2] He also directed the Cedar programming environment project.[2]

From 1983 to 1988, Morris directed the Information Technology Center at Carnegie Mellon University, a joint project with IBM, which developed a prototype university computing system, the Andrew Project.[2] He has been the principal investigator of two National Science Foundation projects aimed at computer-mediated communication: EXPRES and Prep.[2]

He was a founder of the Carnegie Mellon's Human-Computer Interaction Institute and MAYA Design Group, a consulting firm specializing in interactive product design.[2][3][4]

gollark: It's not very suited for this, it's more for secure inter-CC communication.
gollark: ... no.
gollark: Probably Mithril or something on the frontend and Express or some horrible custom websocket thing on the backend.
gollark: Local*Storage*, yes; you can use IndexedDB but it is an utterly *bees* API.
gollark: But using a server is more cloudscale and would let you store more than 5MB of data?
