Biography

Jürg Gutknecht was full professor in the computer science department at the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule ETH Zurich until April 2014.

From 1967 to 1970 he was a member of the real-time computing system programming group at Swissair. Then he studied mathematics at the ETH and worked in parallel at IBM as a student employee. In 1978, he received his Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in mathematics. He joined Niklaus Wirth's research team in 1981, working on the Lilith and Modula-2. After a sabbatical at PARC in 1984–1985, he developed conjointly with Niklaus Wirth the Oberon operating system based on the Oberon language.[1] Together with Peter Schweri he developed the system «Sakkara» for the purpose of writing partiturs of typical constructive Peter-Schweri-art compositions for presentation on computer and internet. In 2013, he released the programming language Zonnon.
