Luca Cardelli

Luca Andrea Cardelli FRS is an Italian computer scientist who is an Assistant Director at Microsoft Research in Cambridge, UK.[1][5] Cardelli is well known for his research in type theory and operational semantics.[6][7] Among other contributions, he helped design Modula-3, implemented the first compiler for the (non-pure) functional programming language ML, and defined the concept of typeful programming. He helped develop the Polyphonic C# experimental programming language.[2][8][9][10][11][12]

Education

He was born in Montecatini Terme, Italy. He attended the University of Pisa[1] before receiving his PhD[13] from the University of Edinburgh in 1982. Before joining Microsoft Research in 1997, he worked for Bell Labs and Digital Equipment Corporation,[1] and contributed to Unix software including vismon.[14]

Awards

In 2004 he was inducted as a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society. In 2007, Cardelli was awarded the Senior AITO Ole-Johan Dahl and Kristen Nygaard prize.[15]

gollark: Actually, they use high-bandwidth electromagnetic data links.
gollark: It does? Weird.
gollark: I mean, it strongly implies they're an utter antimuon neutrino.
gollark: But that's basically the same thing as what I said?
gollark: It's an insult. It is not required to make sense.
