Leslie Greengard

Dr. Leslie F. Greengard is an American mathematician, physician and computer scientist.[1][2] He is co-inventor of the fast multipole method (FMM) in 1987, recognized as one of the top-ten algorithms of the 20th century.[1][3]

Short biography

Leslie Greengard was born in London, England, but grew up in the United States: in New York, Boston, and New Haven. He holds a B.A. in mathematics from Wesleyan University (1979), an M.D. from the Yale School of Medicine (1987), and a Ph.D. in computer science from Yale University (1987).[1][2]

Greengard has been the director of the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, an independent division of the New York University (NYU)[2][4] and is currently a professor of mathematics and computer science at Courant. He is also a professor at New York University Tandon School of Engineering.[5] He is the director of the Simons Center for Data Analysis, too.[6]

He is the son of Paul Greengard and the nephew of actress Irene Kane, later known as Chris Chase, a writer and journalist.[7]
