Mark Ludwig
American computer scientist
Mark Allen Ludwig (August 5, 1958 – 2011) was a physicist from the U.S and author of books on computer viruses and artificial life. Ludwig spent less than two years as an undergraduate at MIT, but was reputedly still able to get into the Physics doctorate program at Caltech on the basis of recommendation letters from his past MIT teachers where he was a classmate of Stephen Wolfram in Richard Feynman's course on advanced mathematical methods for physics. He died from cancer at age 51.[1]
