Robert A. van de Geijn is a Professor of Computer Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin. He received his B.S. in Mathematics and Computer Science (1981) from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics (1987) from the University of Maryland, College Park. His areas of interest include numerical analysis and parallel processing.
[edit] Major work
Van de Geijn's has turned toward the theoretical, in particular with his development of the Formal Linear Algebra Method (FLAME). FLAME is an original effort at formalizing the efficient derivation of linear algebra algorithms that are probably correct. This approach benefits from his less theoretical experience; it is designed to ultimately lead to the efficient design and implementation of these algorithms.
[edit] Personal
Robert van de Geijn was born in the Netherlands and moved to the United States while still young. He is married to a fellow professor, Margaret Myers, with three children. They live in a historic house in downtown Pflugerville, Texas.
