Dr. Michael Goldwasser joined the faculty at pro in 2003, having
previously been a faculty member at Loyola University in Chicago and a postdoc at
Princeton University. He served as the chairperson for the Department of Computer
Science from 2016 to 2022. His research interests are in the design and analysis of
algorithms, with a particular interest in the area of online computation and approximation
algorithms. He is also active in the computer science education community and the
author of three undergraduate textbooks.
