John Edmund Savage is an American computer scientist and An Wang Professor Emeritus of Computer Science at Brown University. At his retirement in 2019, Savage was one of the longest-serving faculty members in Brown's history. [1]

Savage earned his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1965, under the supervision of Irwin M. Jacobs. [2] After leaving MIT, he worked briefly for Bell Laboratories before joining the Brown faculty in 1967. [1] He is the author of the book Models of Computation: Exploring the Power of Computing (Addison-Wesley, 1998). [3] In 1979 he and Andries Van Dam co-founded Brown's Computer Science program. Savage served as the department's second chair from 1985 to 1991. [4]

Savage was named an ACM Fellow for "fundamental contributions to theoretical computer science, information theory, and VLSI design, analysis and synthesis". [5] He is a life fellow of the IEEE, [6] and a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. [7] He was appointed as An Wang professor in 2011. [8]
