NSF he was Associate Director for Research at DIMACS (the Center for Discrete
Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science) at Rutgers. From 1989 to 1994 he was
Associate Professor of Computer Science at the University of Arizona. From 1981 to 1989 he
was a Member of Technical Staff at AT&T; Bell Laboratories. In 1980-1981 he was an
instructor in Computer Science at the Pennsylvania State University.
Steve received his B.A. in Mathematics at Reed College in 1971, the A.M. in Mathematics
from Dartmouth College in 1973, and the M.S. and Ph.D. in Computer Science from Cornell
University in 1978 and 1981 respectively. His research interests are in computational
complexity, algorithms for large data sets, and DNA computing. He was one of the
co-founders in 1986 of the IEEE Structure in Complexity Theory Conference, (now renamed
the IEEE Conference on Computational Complexity.)
