Until June 2012, he was a University Professor and the AT&T Professor of Engineering and Applied Sciences in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Virginia. Early life and educationBorn in Chicago, he attended the University of Illinois, receiving a BS in engineering physics in 1961 and an MS in electrical engineering in 1963. He then achieved the first Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Virginia in 1968. CareerIn 1970, while at Carnegie Mellon University, he designed the BLISS programming language and developed a groundbreaking optimizing compiler for it. With his wife Anita K. Jones, Wulf was a founder and vice president of Tartan Laboratories, a compiler technology company, in 1981. He served as president of the National Academy of Engineering[1] from 1996 to 2007. He chaired the Computer Science and Telecommunications Board of the National Research Council from 1992-1996. He serves on the Council of the ACM, on the board of directors of CRDF Global,[2] and is a reviewing editor of Science. In 1994 he was inducted as a Fellow of the ACM. In 2007 Wulf was awarded the honor of delivering the prestigious Charles P. Steinmetz Lecture at Union College.[3] Wulf's research has also included computer architecture, computer security, and hardware-software codesign. Personal lifeWilliam Wulf is married to Anita K. Jones, also a past professor of Computer Science at the University of Virginia. They live in Charlottesville. Wulf ended his career at the University by resigning on Tuesday, June 19, 2012, in protest of the forced resignation of former President Teresa A. Sullivan,[4] in what he calls, "the worst example of corporate governance I have ever seen.[5] After widespread challenges from the faculty, student body, alumni, and the national academic community; and in the face of a direct threat from the Governor of Virginia that he would replace the entire board if they did not resolve the conflict, Sullivan was unanimously rehired some two weeks later.[6] Publications
