Biographical/Historical note
Terry Allen Winograd (1946-), an impressive scholar and professor of computer science at
Stanford University, is known for his research on artificial intelligence and natural
language. As a PhD student at MIT from 1968-1970, Winograd wrote SHRDLU, a computer program
for understanding natural language.
During Winograd's successful career at Stanford University he co-directed the Stanford

Page, who later co-founded Google. In addition to his work in Stanford's Computer Science
Department, Winograd also helped found the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design.
