Information about Gaston Gonnet
Gaston H. Gonnet is a Uruguayan computer scientist and entrepreneur. He is best known for his contributions to the Maple computer algebra system and the creation of an electronic version of the Oxford English Dictionary.
In 1980 he co-founded the Symbolic Computation Group at UW. The work of SCG on a general-purpose computer algebra system later formed the core of the Maple system. In 1988, Gonnet co-founded (with Keith Geddes) the private company Waterloo Maple Inc., to sell Maple commercially.
In 1984 he co-founded the New Oxford English Dictionary project at UW, which sought to create a searchable electronic version of the OED. This project later culminated in another successful commercial venture, the Open Text Corporation.
Gonnet is presently a professor at ETH Zurich in Zurich, Switzerland.
Gonnet is also Chief Scientist at Aruna Solutions.
