Donald Knuth
Fletcher Jones Professor of Computer Science, Emeritus
BioDonald Ervin Knuth is an American computer scientist, mathematician, and Professor Emeritus at Stanford University.
He is the author of the multi-volume work The Art of Computer Programming and has been called the "father" of the analysis of algorithms. He contributed to the development of the rigorous analysis of the computational complexity of algorithms and systematized formal mathematical techniques for it. In the process he also popularized the asymptotic notation. In addition to fundamental contributions in several branches of theoretical computer science, Knuth is the creator of the TeX computer typesetting system, the related METAFONT font definition language and rendering system, and the Computer Modern family of typefaces.
As a writer and scholar,[4] Knuth created the WEB and CWEB computer programming systems designed to encourage and facilitate literate programming, and designed the MIX/MMIX instruction set architectures. As a member of the academic and scientific community, Knuth is strongly opposed to the policy of granting software patents. He has expressed his disagreement directly to the patent offices of the United States and Europe. (via Wikipedia) -
Yun-Dam Ko
Ph.D. Student in Civil and Environmental Engineering, admitted Autumn 2024
BioYun-Dam Ko's research focuses on combining data-driven solutions with building physics to enhance the sustainability of the urban built environment. His recent work leverages AI to optimize building energy performance, with a specific focus on intelligent HVAC system control and advanced Building Energy Modeling. Bridging research and practice, he previously worked at a startup where he developed and deployed AI solutions to improve building energy efficiency at scale.
