Luca Cardelli

Luca Andrea Cardelli 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, he helped design Modula-3, implemented the first compiler for the (non-pure) functional programming language ML, and defined the concept of typeful programming. He helped develop the Polyphonic C# experimental programming language.[2][8][9][10][11][12]
