Stephen H. Unger教授退休前曾在哥倫比亞大學計算機與電子工程系工作。進入哥大前,他曾在貝爾實驗室工作過5年。除了計算機領域的研究外,他喜愛琢磨技術進步造成的的社會影響、特別是負面影響,並且做了不少研究,出版過著作《控制技術:道德與有責任的工程師》("Controlling Technology: Ethics and the Responsible Engineer", 2nd Ed., 1994, Wiley)等。
Stephen H. Unger教授的自我介紹 I am an engineer. My degrees are in electrical engineering and my work has been in the digital systems area, mainly digital logic, but also computer organization, software and theory. I am a Professor, Emeritus, Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at Columbia University (retired 6/08 after four decades at Columbia). Before joining the Columbia faculty, I worked at Bell Labs for about five years, and while at Columbia I worked in industry (e.g., at IBM, and RCA Laboratories) often during summers and sabbaticals, as well as doing some consulting work. I have always been interested in the social implications of technology and have done a lot of work in this area, giving talks, writing articles and doing some organizing. Topics I have been actively involved in include engineering ethics, resisting government imposed secrecy in technology, environmental issues. I wrote, "Controlling Technology: Ethics and the Responsible Engineer", 2nd Ed., 1994, Wiley. (Also authored two books on digital logic). My email address is unger(at)cs(dot)columbia(dot)edu |
