Nicola Pellow

Software And Its Engineering

Nicola Pellow is an English mathematician and information scientist who was one of the nineteen members of the WWW Project at CERN working with Tim Berners-Lee, joining in November 1990 while an undergraduate mathematics student. Almost immediately after Berners-Lee completed the WorldWideWeb browser for the NeXT platform, Pellow was tasked with writing a browser for non-NeXT systems, producing the first generic Line Mode Browser in the C programming language, and she was involved in porting the browser to different types of computers. She left CERN in 1991 but returned after graduating in 1992 to work with Robert Cailliau on MacWWW, the first web browser for the classic Mac OS.
