Alan Turing (1912-1954)

Pioneering mathematician, considered the father of computer science. He created a mathematical model of a computer that could simulate any computer algorithm, and used it to prove the uncomputability of the Halting Problem. He also designed the Automatic Computing Engine, one of the world's first computers and the fastest computer at the time.
