Luca Andrea Cardelli, Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS), is an Italian computer scientist who is a Research Professor at the University of Oxford in Oxford, UK.^[1]^[5] Cardelli is well known for his research in type theory and operational semantics.^[6]^[7] 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#.^[2]^[8]^[9]^[10]^[11]^[12]

Education

He was born in Montecatini Terme, Italy. He attended the University of Pisa^[1] before receiving his Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) from the University of Edinburgh in 1982.^[13] Before joining the University of Oxford in 2014, and Microsoft Research in Cambridge, UK in 1997, he worked for Bell Labs and Digital Equipment Corporation,^[1] and contributed to Unix software including vismon.^[14]

Awards

In 2004 he was inducted as a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society. In 2007, Cardelli was awarded the Senior AITO Dahl–Nygaard Prize named for Ole-Johan Dahl and Kristen Nygaard.^[15]
