nicola pellow was a member of the `` www project '' at cern , working with tim berners-lee .
she joined the project in november 1990 , while an undergraduate math student at leicester polytechnic -lrb- now de montfort university -rrb- .
almost immediately after berners-lee completed the worldwideweb web browser for the next platform , pellow wrote a generic line mode browser called www that could run on non-next systems .
the www team ported the browser to a range of computers , from unix to microsoft dos , so that anyone could access the web , which at that point consisted primarily of the cern phone book .
she left cern at the end of august 1991 , but returned after graduating in 1992 , and worked with robert cailliau on macwww , the first web browser for mac os .
