Barbara Liskov
Barbara Liskov is an Institute Professor and Ford Professor of Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where she leads the Programming Methodology Group. She is best known for pioneering data abstraction through the design of the CLU programming language, developing distributed systems and replication protocols including Argus, Viewstamped Replication, and Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance, and formulating the Liskov Substitution Principle for object-oriented programming. She received the ACM A.M. Turing Award in 2008 for her contributions to programming languages and distributed computing.
