Sophie Wilson is remembered in technology for work that changed what came after it.
The record lists Sophie Wilson as British computer scientist (born 1957).
Sophie Wilson was born at Leeds in 1957. His recorded nationality is the United Kingdom. He was educated at Selwyn College.
The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.
He worked as computer scientist, engineer and mathematician.
His affiliations include University of Cambridge.
His principal work is ARM architecture. Technology is judged by adoption: an invention nobody uses is a curiosity.
His work was formally recognised with the Fellow of the Royal Society, Mullard Award and Computer History Museum Fellow.
Working from the United Kingdom shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.
Sophie Wilson is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
