Jeff Edmonds is a Canadian and American mathematician and computer scientist specializing in computational complexity theory.

Academic career

[edit]

Edmonds received his Bachelors at Waterloo in 1987 and his Ph.D. in 1993 at University of Toronto. His thesis proved lower bounds on time-space tradeoffs. He did his post-doctorate work at the ICSI in Berkeley on secure data transmission over networks for multi-media applications. He joined Department of EECS at Lassonde School of Engineering York University in 1995.[1][2]

Research

[edit]

Edmonds' research interests include complexity theory, scheduling, proof systems, probability theory, combinatorics and machine learning.

Personal life

[edit]

Edmonds is the son of another mathematician, Jack Edmonds.
