Alan Turing

Alan Turing was a prominent British logician and mathematician, famous for his decisive contribution during World War II in deciphering German codes using the Enigma machine.

In addition to his work in cryptography, Turing is considered one of the fathers of computer science and artificial intelligence, pioneering the development of the universal Turing machine, a precursor to modern computers.

Tragically, Turing was persecuted for his homosexuality at a time when it was illegal in the United Kingdom, and his life ended prematurely at the age of 41.

His legacy remains fundamental in the fields of computer science, mathematics, and cryptography..
