This could be wrong but I am basing my belief of authorship on the Berkeley
4.2 manual page for csh which says:

AUTHOR
	William Joy.  Job control and directory stack features first
	implemented by J.E. Kulp of I.I.A.S.A, Laxenburg Austria, with
	different syntax than that used now.

But then Berkeley manuals have lied to me before :-).
