Professor Burks joined the Philosophy Department at U-M in 1946, and retired from EECS in 1986. He founded the Logic of Computers Group in 1949 and was instrumental in the formation of the Communication Sciences graduate program and the Dept. of Computer and Communication Sciences (CCS), for which he served as its first Chair.
