David Turner - This article is about the computer scientist. For the Canadian astronomer, see David G. Turner.
David A. Turner is a prominent British computer scientist. He obtained a Ph.D. from Oxford, passing from being plain Mr Turner to Dr Turner and then to Professor Turner within six months. He has held professorships at Queen Mary College, London, University of Texas at Austin and the University of Kent at Canterbury, where he now retains the post of Emeritus Professor. He is currently (2004) Professor of Computation at Middlesex University, England. He is best known for inventing combinator graph reduction and for designing and implementing three seminal functional programming languages SASL, KRC and Miranda, the last of which was awarded a medal for Technical Achievement by the British Computer Society (BCS Awards, 1990).
