Richard Jay "Dick" Lipton is an American computer scientist who has worked in computer science theory, cryptography, and DNA computing. Prof. Lipton is presently Associate Dean of Research, Professor, and the Frederick G. Storey Chair in Computing in the College of Computing at Georgia Institute of Technology.

Career

In 1968, Lipton received his undergraduate degree in mathematics from Case Western Reserve University. In 1973, he received his Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon University; his dissertation, supervised by David Parnas, is entited "On Synchronization Primitive Systems". After graduating, Lipton taught at Yale from 1973–1978, at Berkeley from 1978–1980, and then at Princeton from 1980–2000. Since 2000, Lipton has been at Georgia Tech. While at Princeton, Lipton worked in the field of DNA computing. Since 1996, Lipton has been the chief consulting scientist at Telcordia. In 1980, along with Richard M. Karp, Lipton proved the Karp-Lipton theorem (which proves that, if SAT can be solved by Boolean circuits with a polynomial number of logic gates, then the polynomial hierarchy collapses to its second level). __NOTOC__
