Bjarne Stroustrup (Danish: [ˈbjɑːnə ˈsdʁʌʊ̯ˀsdʁɔb];[2][3] born 30 December 1950) is a Danish computer scientist, most notable for the creation and development of the widely used C++ programming language.[4] He is a Distinguished Research Professor and holds the College of Engineering Chair in Computer Science at Texas A&M University,[5] a visiting professor at Columbia University, and works at Morgan Stanley as a Managing Director in New York.[6][7][8]
Education
Stroustrup has a master's degree in mathematics and computer science (1975) from Aarhus University, Denmark, and a Ph.D. in computer science (1979) from the University of Cambridge, England.[5] His thesis advisor in Cambridge was David Wheeler.[9][10]
Career
Stroustrup began developing C++ in 1978 (then called "C with Classes"), and, in his own words, "invented C++, wrote its early definitions, and produced its first implementation... chose and formulated the design criteria for C++, designed all its major facilities, and was responsible for the processing of extension proposals in the C++ standards committee."[11] Stroustrup also wrote a textbook for the language, The C++ Programming Language.
Stroustrup was the head of AT&T Bell Labs' Large-scale Programming Research department, from its creation until late 2002. Stroustrup was elected member of the National Academy of Engineering in 2004. He is a Fellow of the ACM (1994) and an IEEE Fellow. He works at Texas A&M University as a Distinguished Professor where he holds the College of Engineering Endowed Chair in Computer Science.[12][13] He is also a visiting faculty in Computer Science Department at Columbia University.[14] ITMO University noble doctor since 2013[15]
In 2015, he was made a Fellow [16] of the Computer History Museum for his invention of the C++ programming language.
