Jeffrey D. Ullman (born November 22, 1942) is a renowned computer scientist. His textbooks on compilers (various editions are popularly known as the Dragon Book), data structures, theory of computation, and databases are regarded as standards in their fields.
Ullman received a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering Mathematics from Columbia University in 1963 and his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Princeton University in 1966. He then worked for several years at Bell Labs. From 1969 to 1979 he was a professor at Princeton. Since 1979 he has been a professor at Stanford University, where he is currently the Stanford W. Ascherman Professor of Computer Science (Emeritus). In 1995 he was inducted as a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery and in 2000 he was awarded the Knuth Prize.
Ullman's research interests include database theory, database integration, data mining, and education using the information infrastructure. He was the Ph.D. advisor of Sergey Brin, one of the co-founders of Google, and served on Google's technical advisory board. He is currently the CEO of Gradiance.
