Background
David Korn received his undergraduate degree in mathematics from RPI
in 1965 and his Ph.D. in applied mathematics from NYU's
Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences in 1969. After working on computer
simulations of transsonic air foils, he switched fields to computer science and became
a member of technical staff at Bell
Laboratories in 1976. He is the creator of the KornShell,
a command language for the UNIX environment, as well as UWIN, an X-Open
library for Windows NT and Windows 95. In 1984, he was inducted as
a Bell Labs fellow.
He currently works for AT&T Research in Florham Park, NJ and resides
in New York City.
