Steve Ward is Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at MIT, where his recent teaching and research activities revolve around areas of computer system architecture.
One of his research projects, the 1979 Nu machine, became a model for microprocessor-based workstations.
In the late 1970s Professor Steve Ward and his research group at MIT's Laboratory for Computer Science (LCS) developed the TRIX operating system.
Ward's inventions include a novel dynamic memory chip architecture and a real-time controller design.
He was involved with the Curl project,[1] which aimed to formulate a new language for creating web documents with almost any sort of content, from simple formatted text to complex interactive applets, in the 90s.
