Matthew Cook is a mathematician and computer scientist who proved Stephen Wolfram's conjecture that the Rule 110 one-dimensional cellular automaton is Turing complete in 1994 (published in 2004).[1]
Cook also did pioneering work in 2000 in defining and distinguishing between pseudo- and quasi-still lifes in the Game of Life.[2][3]
