Dana Scott
Denotational semantics, and the mathematics of what a program means.
Dana Stewart Scott is an American logician who is the Hillman University Professor emeritus of Computer Science, Philosophy, and Mathematical Logic at Carnegie Mellon University. He is now retired and lives in Berkeley, California. He and Michael O. Rabin won the 1976 ACM Turing Award for their work on automata theory, while his collaborative work with Christopher Strachey in the 1970s laid the foundations of modern approaches to the semantics of programming languages. He has also worked on modal logic, topology, and category theory.

Dana Scott is alive, so there is one chart here rather than two. The death chart is cast for a documented moment of death and there is nothing to cast one for, which is the point: this site does not estimate either end.

Cast for noon, as the birth time is unknown, so the longitudes are approximate.
