Belford was an contributor for Britannica and worked on their article on computer science.[4] She also co-authored a textbook on the
Pascal programming language.[5] Her papers are located at the University of Illinois Archives.[6]
Early life
Belford was born on May 18, 1932 in Washington, D.C.[1] She attended the
University of Pennsylvania and received her bachelor's degree in
Mathematics. She then attended the University of Illinois and graduated in 1960 with a PhD in mathematics PhD.[3] Her research originally focused on chemistry and mathematics. Later on, she focused on computer science.[7]
Career
After graduating with her PhD, Belford was hired as a research associate at the University of Illinois Chemistry Department. She continued working there until she was became an assistant professor of Mathematics in 1964.[3] Belford later became a research assistant professor with the Center for Advanced Computation in 1972. In 1976, she was promoted to a research associate professor and in 1977, she joined the Department of Computer Science. Belford was promoted to full professor in 1982 [3] Her research involved database and distributed systems and the ILLIAC computer.[8]
She was Professor Emerita of Computer Science and officially retired from the University of Illinois in 2000.[3]
Awards and recognition
1986 College of Engineering Halliburton Educational Leadership Award [3]
1991 Dad’s Association Outstanding Faculty Award[3]
2012 CS @ ILLINOIS Distinguished Service Award[3][9]
