Robin Gandy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robin Oliver Gandy (1919 - 20 November 1995) was a British mathematician and logician.

He was a friend, student, and associate of Alan Turing, having been supervised by Turing during his PhD at Cambridge University (graduated 1953), where he was a member of the Apostles. The two worked together during World War II on a speech encipherment project at Hanslope Park.

Gandy taught at Manchester University until 1969, when he moved to Wolfson College, Oxford, where he was Reader in Mathematical Logic. One of the residential buildings of the college is now named in his honour.
