Nicola Pellow

Nicola Pellow is an English mathematician and information scientist who was one of the nineteen members of the WWW Project at CERN working with Tim Berners-Lee.

[1] She joined the project in November 1990, while an undergraduate maths student enrolled on a sandwich course at Leicester Polytechnic (now De Montfort University).

[1][2] Pellow recalled having little experience with programming languages, "... apart from using a bit of Pascal and FORTRAN as part of my degree course.

[2] The outcome was that she wrote the first generic Line Mode Browser[4][5][6] that could run on non-NeXT systems.

[9] She left CERN at the end of August 1991 but returned after graduating in 1992 to work with Robert Cailliau on MacWWW,[10][11] the first web browser for the classic Mac OS.
