Herman Lukoff

Herman Lukoff (May 2, 1923 – September 24, 1979) was a computer pioneer and fellow of the IEEE.

While at the Moore School, he helped to develop the ENIAC and EDVAC computers.

[1] Lukoff subsequently followed ENIAC co-inventors J. Presper Eckert and John W. Mauchly to their newly formed Electronic Control Company, which became Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation, and then became part of Remington Rand in 1950 and Sperry Corporation in 1955.

Interred at Shalom Memorial Park in Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania, he was survived by his wife, Shirley Rosner Lukoff; his three sons, Arthur, Barry, and Andrew; and his daughter, Carol.

[1] Lukoff's memoir, From Dits to Bits,[1] details his experiences as a first-hand observer of the birth of the computer industry.
