Luca Andrea Cardelli FRS is an Italian computer scientist who is a research professor at the University of Oxford, UK.[6][3][7][8] Cardelli is well known for his research in type theory and operational semantics.[9][10] Among other contributions, in programming languages, he helped design the language Modula-3, implemented the first compiler for the (non-pure) functional language ML, defined the concept of typeful programming, and helped develop the experimental language Polyphonic C#.[1][11][12][13][14]

Education

He was born in Montecatini Terme, Italy. He attended the University of Pisa[7] before receiving his PhD from the University of Edinburgh in 1982[15] for research supervised by Gordon Plotkin.[5]

Career and research

Before joining the University of Oxford in 2014, and Microsoft Research in Cambridge,[7] UK in 1997, he worked for Bell Labs and Digital Equipment Corporation,[7] and contributed to Unix software including vismon.[16]

Awards and honours

In 2004 he was inducted as a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2005.[7] In 2007, Cardelli was awarded the Senior AITO Dahl–Nygaard Prize named for Ole-Johan Dahl and Kristen Nygaard.[17]
