Conrad Wolfram

Conrad Wolfram founded Wolfram Research Europe Ltd. in 1991 and in 1997 also became Strategic Director at Wolfram Research, Inc., founded by brother Stephen.

The companies' Mathematica software is renowned worldwide for its computational capabilities, and is now also recognized as an innovative software development environment and interactive deployment platform.

In 2009, the Wolfram|Alpha knowledge engine spin-off was launched to dramatic interest - both because of its new approach and the unique combination of Wolfram Technologies which made it possible.

Conrad's instigation and leadership of business and technical initiatives has been central to many new directions in Wolfram companies and more widely in the technical computing industry. He is a regular speaker on topics ranging from future technology to the new era of computational knowledge and the reform of math education. Conrad holds an MA in natural sciences and maths from the University of Cambridge.
