Steven Stanley Muchnick is a noted
computer science researcher, best known asauthor of the 1997 treatise oncompiler s, entitled "Advanced Compiler Design and Implementation."Background
In 1974, Muchnick was awarded a Ph.D in computer science from
Cornell University . After graduation, he became a professor at theUniversity of Kansas , located inLawrence, Kansas . During his tenure at that institution, he wrote several research papers, many of which were published in theJournal of the ACM .Muchnick eventually departed from his teaching profession. He then went on to apply his knowledge of compilers as a vital member of the teams that developed two
