"Douglas McGregor"Bio:
Douglas McGregor, a former head of the computer science department at the University of Strathclyde, has died at the age of 75.
Originally studying at Robert Gordon’s College in Aberdeen, then chemistry at Aberdeen University, McGregor continued his post-graduate education by researching at Glasgow University, primarily in the field of crystallography.
His advances in crystallography with fellow student Ken Muir drove him away from chemistry and towards computer science – after completing his PhD, McGregor worked with the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority for several years.
In 1972, he joined the computer science department at Strathclyde, only recently established, and hindered by the vast amount of computer programming languages competing for academic use.
