Jorge Stolfi

Jorge Stolfi is a professor of computer science at the State University of Campinas, a linguist, and free data pioneer. He collected, maintained, and widely disseminated (through the historic DEC gatekeeper ftp archives and Prime Time Freeware) a set of wordlists that later formed the basis of the ispell resources (later myspell, currently part of OpenOffice and Mozilla as hunspell).

He was a student of Leonidas J. Guibas at Stanford, working on computational geometry. His later work includes study of the Voynich manuscript and free software for finite state transducer technology used in natural language processing.
