An Wang




Dr. An Wang (February 7, 1920 - March 24, 1990) was a Chinese American 
computer engineer and inventor.

Born in Shanghai, China, Wang emigrated with his family to the United States
in the late 1940s. Wang worked with Dr. Howard Aiken at Harvard University
in the 1950s. Wang invented several important computer technologies,
including the pulse transfer controlling device, an important early
contribution to magnetic core memory.

Wang founded a company called Wang Laboratories, which at one time employed
over 30,000 people and was headquartered in Lowell, Massachusetts. Wang died
of cancer in 1990, leaving behind an impressive technical and
philanthropical legacy.
