In 2006, when Maria Klawe became the fifth president of Harvey Mudd College, only 10 percent of the school’s computer science majors were women. Within a decade, that…

Bob Widlar revolutionized electronics by creating the first practical monolithic operational amplifiers, the μA702 and μA741, and invented foundational circuit topologies like the Widlar current source and bandgap voltage reference that remain essential to analog IC design today.

Robin Milner (1934-2010) created the ML programming language, which introduced the revolutionary Hindley-Milner type inference system used in Haskell, Rust, F#, TypeScript, and many modern languages. He also developed CCS and the pi-calculus for concurrent systems and built the LCF theorem prover. Turing Award recipient in 1991.

In the annals of theoretical computer science, few figures have reshaped the discipline as profoundly as Michael Oser Rabin. Born in Breslau, Germany in 1931, Rabin fled the…

Imagine a pitch-black stage. The audience sits in silence, staring into darkness — and then, without warning, cascading rivers of light begin to dance. Human figures materialize as…

Imagine you have built a complex piece of software — perhaps an air traffic control system, a medical device, or a nuclear reactor controller. You have tested it…

Gordon Moore co-founded Intel Corporation and Fairchild Semiconductor, formulated Moore’s Law predicting exponential growth in transistor density, and shaped the modern semiconductor industry. His prediction became the roadmap for five decades of computing advancement.

In the world of operating systems, few people have ever achieved the kind of deep, almost surgical understanding of Windows internals that Mark Russinovich has demonstrated throughout his…
