In his PhD thesis Aho created indexed grammars and the nested stack automaton as vehicles for extending the power of context-free languages but retaining many of their decidability and closure properties.

At Bell Labs, Aho worked closely with Steve Johnson and Jeffrey Ullman to develop efficient algorithms for analyzing and translating programming languages.

Aho is also widely known for his co-authorship of the AWK programming language with Peter J. Weinberger and Brian Kernighan ( the ' A ' stands for " Aho ").
