His brother was the diplomat Christopher Gandy and his sister was the physician Gillian Gandy.

1919

Robin Oliver Gandy (22 September 1919 – 20 November 1995) was a British mathematician and logician.

He was a friend, student, and associate of Alan Turing, having been supervised by Turing during his PhD at the University of Cambridge, where they worked together.

Robin Gandy was born in the village of Rotherfield Peppard, Oxfordshire, England.

1940

Educated at Abbotsholme School in Derbyshire, Gandy took two years of the Mathematical Tripos, at King's College, Cambridge, before enlisting for military service in 1940.

During World War II he worked on radio intercept equipment at Hanslope Park, where Alan Turing was working on a speech encipherment project, and he became one of Turing's lifelong friends and associates.

1946

In 1946, he completed Part III of the Mathematical Tripos, then began studying for a PhD under Turing's supervision.

1952

He completed his thesis, On axiomatic systems in mathematics and theories in Physics, in 1952.

He was a member of the Cambridge Apostles.

Gandy held positions at the University of Leicester, the University of Leeds, and the University of Manchester.

1966

He was a visiting associate professor at Stanford University from 1966 to 1967, and held a similar position at University of California, Los Angeles in 1968.

1969

In 1969, he moved to Wolfson College, Oxford, where he became Reader in Mathematical Logic.

Gandy is known for his work in recursion theory.

His contributions include the Spector–Gandy theorem, the Gandy Stage Comparison theorem, and the Gandy Selection theorem.

He also made a significant contribution to the understanding of the Church–Turing thesis, and his generalisation of the Turing machine is called a Gandy machine.

1995

Gandy died in Oxford, England on 20 November 1995.

The Robin Gandy Buildings, a pair of accommodation blocks at Wolfson College, Oxford, are named after Gandy.
