Herbert Gelernter was a professor emeritus in the Computer Science Department of Stony Brook University.[1]
Short biography
Gelernter studied for his Ph.D. at the University of Rochester in 1957.[1][2] He implemented, with Nathaniel Rochester, a computer language for list processing within FORTRAN. The work for this was done, in fact, with Carl Gerberich at IBM, to this end producing the Fortran list processing language (FLPL).[3] His most ambitious project during his tenure at Stony Brook University was the SYNCHEM expert problem-solving system for the discovery of potential routes to the total synthesis of organic molecules through a self-guided intelligent search and application of its large knowledge base of graph transforms, rules and sophisticated heuristics representing generalized organic reactions organized around recognized functional groups. Prof. Gelernter died on May 28, 2015. His son is computer science professor David Gelernter.[4]
