Historical Faculty List
From Stanford CSD History
Working list, many dates are estimates, entered 8 November 2008.
As of 2018 this list is being gradually updated with faculty student trees. Those are currently kept at the Stanford Historical Displays website. Because of the growth of the department, Gio Wiederhold will not maintain it for faculty that joined department after his retirement in 2001. However, others are welcome to update this Wiki. Access can be requested from Stanford CS Computer Facilities staff.
