Stefan Karpinski is an American computer scientist known for being a co-creator of the Julia programming language.[1][2][3][4] He is an alumnus of Harvard and works at Julia Computing, which he co-founded with Julia co-creators, Alan Edelman, Jeff Bezanson, Viral B. Shah as well as Keno Fischer and Deepak Vinchhi.[5][6][7]

He received a B.A. in mathematics from Harvard in 2000,[8] and has completed much of the work on a PhD in computer science from UCSB with research on modeling local area network traffic. He is one of the four main authors of core academic papers on Julia.[9][10] He speaks regularly on Julia at industry events on scientific computing, programming languages, and data science.[7][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]

In 2006, Karpinski participated in the Subway Challenge,[19] holding for some time the Guinness World Record for the fastest transit stopping at all New York City Subway stations.

Awards

[edit]

In 2019, Stefan Karpinski was awarded the J. H. Wilkinson Prize for Numerical Software with Jeff Bezanson and Viral B. Shah for their work on the Julia programming language.[20]
