Leslie Frederick Greengard (born 1957) is an American mathematician, physicist and computer scientist. [2] [3] He is co-inventor with Vladimir Rokhlin Jr. of the fast multipole method (FMM) in 1987, recognized as one of the top-ten algorithms of the 20th century. [2] [4]
Greengard was elected as a member of the National Academy of Engineering in 2006 for work on the development of algorithms and software for fast multipole methods.
Leslie Frederick Greengard [1] was born in 1957 in London, England, [5] but grew up in the United States in New York City, 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). [2] [3]
From 2006 to 2011, Greengard was director of the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, an independent division of the New York University (NYU) [3] [6] 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 [7] and the director of the Simons Center for Data Analysis. [8]
He formerly served as the Director at the Center for Computational Biology at the Flatiron Institute. As of October 2018 [update], he has assumed the directorship of the new Center of Computational Mathematics at the Institute. [9]
He is the son of neuroscientist Paul Greengard and the nephew of Irene Kane, later known as Chris Chase, an actress, writer, and journalist. [10]
