David Wolfe, an American computer scientist, mathematician, games researcher, software engineer at Google, adjunct professor at Dalhousie University, and before, from 1996 to 2008, professor at Gustavus Adolphus College [1]. He holds a B.S. in electrical engineering from Cornell University in 1985 on facets of the Travelling salesman problem polytope under advisor Vijay Vazirani [2], and a Ph.D. in CS from University of California, Berkeley in 1991 on the topic of mathematics of Go under advisor Elwyn Berlekamp. His research interests in discrete mathematics and computer science include combinatorial game theory, probability and stochastic processes, and recreational mathematics.
