Alan Turing


Alan Turing was an English mathematician, computer scientist, philosopher, and theoretical biologist. Born in London and a fellow of Cambridge University, Turing was highly influential in the development of theoretical computer science, providing a formalisation of the concepts of algorithm and computation with the Turing machine.


Turing played a crucial role in cracking intercepted coded messages that enabled the Allies to defeat the Nazis in World War II. He faced significant challenges, being criminalised as a homosexual, with much of his work going unrecognised until today. The disciplines linked to Turing College include Maths and Science which are situated on the second floor.
