Stephen R. (Steve) Schach

Professor of Computer Science, Emeritus

Professor of Computer Engineering, Emeritus

I obtained an M.S. in Physics at the Weizmann Institute of Science in 1972, and a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics at the University of Cape Town in 1973. Between 1972 and 1983, I held faculty positions in the Departments of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Cape Town. In 1983 I joined the Department of Computer Science at Vanderbilt University.

My research interests are in the field of software engineering in general and specifically in the empirical analysis of open-source software. I have written a number of textbooks on software engineering, object-oriented software engineering, and object-oriented systems analysis and design. I have over 130 refereed publications to my name. I consult internationally and serve as an expert witness on software.

I now live in Sydney, Australia. I have recently authored or co-authored six thrillers. The first, a historical spy thriller set in the Kingdom of Prussia in 1747, entitled Old Bach Is Come, was published in March 2013.
