Lars Allan Arge (8 October 1967 – 23 December 2020)[1][2] was a Danish computer scientist, the head of the Center for Massive Data Algorithmics (MADALGO) at Aarhus University, where he was also a professor of computer science.[3] His research involved the study of algorithms and data structures for handling massive data, especially in graph algorithms and computational geometry.
Education and career
[edit]Arge earned his Ph.D. in 1996 from Aarhus University, under the supervision of Erik Meineche Schmidt.[4] He next did a postdoc at Duke University until 1998. He then became a professor at Duke University before returning to Aarhus as a professor in 2004. He continued to hold an adjunct professorship at Duke.[5]

In 2015 he became a Knight First Class in the Order of the Dannebrog.[10]
