A Brief Biography

Martin Charles Golumbic is Professor of Computer Science and Director of the Caesarea Edmond Benjamin de Rothschild Institute for Interdisciplinary Applications of Computer Science at the University of Haifa. Previously he was a research staff member and research fellow at the IBM Israel Scientific Center and Professor of Computer Science at Bar-Ilan University. He is the founding editor-in-chief of the series “Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence” and is or has been a member of the editorial boards of several journals including “Discrete Applied Mathematics”, “Constraints” and “AI Communications”.

Professor Golumbic received his Ph.D. in mathematics from Columbia University in 1975. Before moving to Israel in 1982, he served as assistant professor of computer science at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences of New York University, visiting scientist at Universitי de Paris and the Weizmann Institute of Science, and worked at Bell Telephone Laboratories.

He is the author of the book “Algorithmic Graph Theory and Perfect Graphs”, coauthor of a second book “Tolerance Graphs” and has written many research articles in the areas of combinatorial mathematics, algorithmic analysis, expert systems, artificial intelligence, and programming languages. He has been a guest editor of special issues of several journals, the editor of the book “Advances in Artificial Intelligence, Natural Language and Knowledge-based Systems”, and has been the chairman of national and international symposia.

His current area of research is in combinatorial mathematics interacting with real world problems in computer science and artificial intelligence. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Combinatorics and its Applications, a member of the Phi Beta Kappa, Pi Mu Epsilon, Phi Kappa Phi, Phi Eta Sigma honor societies and is married and the father of four bilingual daughters
