Happy Birthday to Turing Laureate John E. Hopcroft! Hopcroft received the #ACMTuringAward with Robert E. Tarjan in 1986 for fundamental achievements in the design and analysis of algorithms and data structures.
His work on formal languages and the analysis of algorithms has made John Hopcroft one of the handful of pioneering computer scientists who put the discipline on a firm theoretical foundation. Hopcroft explains landing his first academic job: https://buff.ly/DlagdwK
