Christopher Langton (born 1948/1949) is an American computer scientist and one of the founders of the field of artificial life.
Life and work
He coined the term in the late 1980s when he organized the first "Workshop on the Synthesis and Simulation of Living Systems" (otherwise known as Artificial Life I) at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in 1987.
Following his time at Los Alamos, Langton joined the Santa Fe Institute (SFI), to continue his research on artificial life.
He left SFI in the late 1990s, and abandoned his work on artificial life, publishing no research since that time.
Langton is the first-born son of Jane Langton, author of books including the Homer Kelly Mysteries.
