Les Hatton (born 5 February 1948) is a British-born computer scientist and mathematician most notable for his work on failures and vulnerabilities in software controlled systems.

He was educated at

tornadoes
.

Although originally a geophysicist, a career for which he was awarded the 1987

IEEE Computer,[7] IEEE Software,[8][9] Nature,[10] and IEEE Computational Science and Engineering.[11] His book Safer C[12] pioneered the use of safer language subsets in commercial embedded control systems. He was also cited amongst the leading scholars of systems and software engineering by the Journal of Systems and Software
for the period 1997–2001.

Primarily a computer scientist nowadays, he retains wide interests and has published recently on artificial complexity in mobile phone charging, the aerodynamics of

javelins and novel bibliographic search algorithms for unstructured text to extract patterns from defect databases.[13]

After spending most of his career in industry working for Oakwood Computing Associates,[14] he is currently a professor of Forensic Software Engineering at Kingston University, London.[3]
