Hartmut Ehrig

Hartmut Ehrig (born December 6, 1944 in Angermünde; died March 17, 2016) was a German computer scientist and professor of theoretical computer science and formal specification. He was a pioneer in algebraic specification of abstract data types, and in graph grammars.^[2]

Vita[]

In 1969, Ehrig received his diploma in mathematics from the Technical University (TU) of Berlin. In 1971, he earned his doctorate in 1971, and in 1974 his habilitation from the same university. Subsequently, he had research stays at the Thomas J. Watson Research Center, among others. In 1976, he became a lecturer at the TU Berlin, and the director of its Institute for Software Engineering and Theoretical Computer Science. In 1984, he was appointed full professor at the TU Berlin. Between 1981 and 1991, he was also Dean of its Department of Computer Science for several times. He was EATCS Vice President from 1997 to 2002. He retired on October 1, 2010.^[2][3]
