Terry A. Welch, along with Abraham Lempel and Jacob Ziv, developed the lossless LZW compression algorithm which was published in 1984.

Welch received a BS, MS and PhD degree at MIT in electrical engineering. He taught at the University of Texas at Austin and worked in computer design at Honeywell in Waltham, Massachusetts.

In 1976 he joined the Sperry Research Center, Sudbury, Massachusetts, where the paper about the LZW algorithm was published. In 1983 he joined DEC where he worked as DEC liaison to MCC's advanced computer architecture program. ^[1]
