Why Is Chris Wallace Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Christopher Stewart Wallace was an Australian computer scientist and physicist. Wallace is notable for having devised:The minimum message length principle — an information-theoretic principle in statistics, econometrics, machine learning, inductive inference and knowledge discovery which can be seen both as a mathematical formalisation of Occam's Razor and as an invariant Bayesian method of model selection and point estimation,The Wallace tree form of binary multiplier ,a variety of random number generators,a theory in physics and philosophy that entropy is not the arrow of time,a refrigeration system ,hardware for detecting and counting cosmic rays,design of computer operating systems,the notion of universality probability in mathematical logic,and a vast range of other works - see, e.g., and its Foreword re C. S. Wallace , pp 523-560.He was appointed Foundation Chair of Information Science at Monash University in 1968 at the age of 34 , and Professor Emeritus in 1996. Wallace was a fellow of the Australian Computer Society and in 1995 he was appointed a fellow of the ACM "For research in a number of areas in Computer Science including fast multiplication algorithm, minimum message length principle and its applications, random number generation, computer architecture, numerical solution of ODE's, and contribution to Australian Computer Science."
