Winograd studied Electrical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, receiving his B.S. and M.S. degrees in 1959. He received his Ph.D. from the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University in 1968. He joined the research staff at IBM in 1961, eventually becoming director of the Mathematical Sciences Department there from 1970–1974 and 1980–1994.[1]

gollark: Seems like a networking issue, then.
gollark: Probably because of the IPv4 address shortage.

gollark: Some ISPs have CGNAT, which means you don't have a single public IP address *at all*, even a dynamic one.
gollark: No, never mind, I'm reading this wrong, your thing is maybe not publicly exposed properly.
