Cristian Sorin Calude (born 21 April 1952) is a Romanian-New Zealander mathematician and computer scientist.[1] He graduated from the National College Vasile Alecsandri in Galați, and the University of Bucharest and was student of Grigore C. Moisil and Solomon Marcus.[2] He is currently chair professor at the University of Auckland,[3] New Zealand and also the founding director of the Centre for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science.[4] Visiting Professor in many universities in Europe, North and South America, Australasia, South Africa, including Monbusho Visiting Professor, JAIST, 1999 and Visiting Professor ENS, Paris, 2009, École Polytechnique, Paris, 2011; Visiting Fellow, Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences, 2012; Guest Professor, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China, 2017–2020; Visiting Fellow ETH Zurich, 2019. Former professor at the University of Bucharest. Author or co-author of more than 270 research articles and 8 books.[5] Cited by more than 550 authors.[6] Research in algorithmic information theory, quantum computing, discrete mathematics and history and philosophy of computation.[7]
In 2017, together with Sanjay Jain, Bakhadyr Khoussainov, Wei Li, and Frank Stephan, he announced an algorithm for deciding parity games in quasipolynomial time.[8] Their result was presented at the Symposium on Theory of Computing 2017[9] and won a Best Paper Award.[10]
He was awarded the National Order of Faithful Service in the degree of Knight[11] by the President of Romania, Mr. Klaus Iohannis, in June 2019.
