Bjarne Stroustrup (/ˈbjɑːrnə ˈstraʊstrʊp/; Danish: [ˈbjɑːnə ˈsdʁʌwˀsdʁɔb];[3][4] born 30 December 1950) is a Danish computer scientist, who is most notable for the creation and development of the C++ programming language.[5] He is a visiting professor at Columbia University, and works at Morgan Stanley as a Managing Director in New York.[6][7][8][9][10]

Education[edit]

Stroustrup has a master's degree in mathematics and computer science (1975) from Aarhus University, Denmark, and a PhD in computer science in 1979 from the University of Cambridge, England[11] supervised by David Wheeler.[2][12]

Career[edit]

Stroustrup began developing C++ in 1979 (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."[13] Stroustrup also wrote a textbook for the language, The C++ Programming Language.[14][15]

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 was elected a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) in 1994 and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).[when?] From 2002 to 2014, Stroustrup was the College of Engineering Chair in Computer Science Professor at Texas A&M University.[16][17] As of January 2014, Stroustrup is a Managing Director in the technology division of Morgan Stanley in New York City and a Visiting Professor in Computer Science at Columbia University.[18]

Publications[edit]

Stroustrup has written or co-written a number of publications,[19][20] including the books A Tour of C++,[21] Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++,[22] The C++ Programming Language,[23] Design and Evolution of C++[24] and The Annotated C++ Reference Manual.[25]

Awards and honors[edit]

Stroustrup has been a noble doctor at ITMO University since 2013.[26]

Stroustrup won the Senior Dahl–Nygaard Prize in 2015. The same year, he was made a Fellow of the Computer History Museum for his invention of the C++ programming language.[27] In 2017, the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) awarded[28][29] him the Faraday Medal, for pioneering C++, one of the most influential programming languages in the history of computing.[30] On January 3, 2018, Stroustrup was announced as the 2018 winner of the Charles Stark Draper Prize for Engineering, which comes with $500,000.[31] He was named winner of 2018 Computer Pioneer Award of the IEEE Computer Society.[32] He was awarded an honorary doctor from the University Carlos III, Spain on 25 January 2019.
