Nicola Pellow

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. She joined the project in November 1990, while an undergraduate maths student enrolled on a sandwich course at Leicester Polytechnic (now De Montfort University). Pellow recalled having little experience with programming languages, "apart from using a bit of Pascal and FORTRAN as part of my degree course." Pellow was tasked with creating a browser using her recently acquired skills in the C programming language. that could run on non-NeXT systems. The WWW team began to improve on her work, creating several experimental versions. Pellow was involved in porting the browser to different types of computers. the first web browser for the classic Mac OS.
