Bill Pugh is an emeritus professor of Computer Science at UMD, where he developed Skip Lists and The Omega Test and Project, worked on the Java Memory Model, developed FindBugs, a static analysis tool for finding mistakes in Java programs, and Marmoset, a tool that managed student project submissions and testing, with a design that encouraged students to understand unit tests and avoid last-minute all-nighters to do their projects. He worked with Fortify Software to integrate FindBugs into Fortify’s security static analysis tool chain, and at Google to scale FindBugs to handle the entire Java codebase at Google. He retired from UMD in 2012 when they selected Jayanth Banavar as dean of CMPS, but got involved again with UMD after Brendan said, “You could use a new building”. During the pandemic, he worked for Apple on GAEN, the Google-Apple Exposure Notification framework, and also as an independent expert helping state health authorities interpret and understand the analytics produced by ENPA (Exposure Notification Privacy-preserving Analytics).
