Stephen Leach
Bristol, UK
The focus of Stephen's work is the use of computing in scientific and technical applications. His special interest is in programming languages and is fond of pointing out that inside every large program there's a small programming language trying to get out.
Inspired by the impressive Poplog system, he is the lead on the Ginger programming toolkit, an open source project which aims to make a programming system that's elegant, friendly and practical.
From time to time he takes on students for coaching in maths, design and software engineering.
