From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Martin Fürer is a Swiss Computer Scientist and a professor of Computer Science at Pennsylvania State University. He is mostly known for his work on fast integer multiplication.

Research and career[edit]

One of Fürer's notable results is his fast integer multiplication algorithm STOC presented in 2007 and published in 2009 (Fürer (2009)).[1] His main research is on Graph Theory Algorithms, Approximation Algorithms, Fixed Parameter Tractable Algorithm, and Computational Complexity.[2]

He obtained his PhD in Mathematics from ETH Zurich in 1978 under supervision of Ernst P. Specker[3] and has been a faculty member at Pennsylvania State University since 1987.[4] He is on the editorial board of Journal of Graph Algorithms and Applications[5] and Information and Computation.[6] He is listed as a teacher for the CMPSC 464 course at Penn State in Fall 2024.
