Edward "Ted" A. Newman (born 1918, died 1996) was born in Walthamstow.
After working on the digital (pulsed) electronics of the H2S airborn radar system, he joined the National Physics Laboratory in 1947. He helped develop Alan Turing’s ideas for general purpose stored-program computer, developing it as the Pilot ACE.
Like Turing, he was a keen runner, and the two would meet up regularly in Manchester to train together, and to have lively discussions on the prospect of machine intelligence.[1]
In the early 1980s, we was appointed visiting professor at the Department of Computer Science of Westfield College (part of the University of London) until just before the closure of the college in 1989, and gave occasional lectures there.
