Daniel Alan Spielman (born March 1970, Philadelphia, USA[3]) is professor of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science at Yale University (since 2006).
Daniel Spielman attended The Philadelphia School. He received his B.A. in mathematics and computer science from Yale University in 1992 and his Ph.D. in applied mathematics (dissertation: Computationally Efficient Error-Correcting Codes and Holographic Proofs) from MIT in 1995. He taught in the Mathematics Department at MIT during 1996-2005.
In 2008 he was awarded the Gödel Prize for his joint work on smoothed analysis of algorithms.[4]
In 2010, he was awarded the Nevanlinna Prize for "for smoothed analysis of Linear Programming, algorithms for graph-based codes and applications of graph theory to Numerical Computing"[5] and the same year he was named a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery.[6]
He holds several patents in the area of coding theory with the U.S. Patent Office.
