David Albert Huffman (August 9, 1925 – October 7, 1999) was a pioneer in the computer science field. Throughout his life, Huffman made significant contributions to the study of finite state machines, switching circuits, synthesis procedures, and signal designs. However, David Huffman is best known for the invention of Huffman code, a highly important compression scheme for lossless variable length encoding. It was the result of a term paper he wrote while a graduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he earned a D.Sc. degree on a thesis named The Synthesis of Sequential Switching Circuits, advised by Samuel H. Caldwell (1953).
