Lars Allan Arge is a Danish computer scientist, the head of the Center for Massive Data Algorithmics (MADALGO) at Aarhus University, where he is also a professor of computer science.[1] His research involves the study of algorithms and data structures for handling massive data, especially in graph algorithms and computational geometry.

Arge earned his Ph.D. in 1996 from Aarhus University, under the supervision of Erik Meineche Schmidt.[2] He was a professor at Duke University before returning to Aarhus as a professor in 2004, and he continues to hold an adjunct professorship at Duke.[3]
