Edward Reingold has worked in the design and analysis of algorithms for over 45 years. His contributions extend from complexity issues in algorithm design to graph drawing and more recently to "Calendrical Calculations". Starting from complexity of set problems, he co-authored fundamental papers on weight balanced binary trees and optimal lopsided trees. His work on backtracking has applications in AI and other applications. He also co-authored research on approximation algorithms for geometric matching and analysis of recurrences in a wide variety of settings. His paper on graph drawing via force-directed placement, co-authored with Fruchterman, was a seminal paper in the field of graph drawing and is is used today to draw networks of molecules and online friends. His linear time tree drawing algorithm is the basis of PSTricks in TeX.
Along with extensive high quality research, Ed Reingold has contributed to the teaching of algorithms and programmings. He has written a number of textbooks, starting with the algorithms book, Combinatorial Algorithms, which was translated into Polish and Russian and had become a well-regarded text. Besides other books on data structures and programming, his "tour de force" is the book on Calendrical Calculations, a compendium that, according to most reviewers, has become one of the most definitive reference on calendrical conversions.
Professor Reingold is an ACM Fellow. He is currently a Professor of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics at Illinois Institute of Technology and a Professor Emeritus at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
