Richard A. Brualdi

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Richard Anthony Brualdi (born September 2, 1939 in Derby , Connecticut ) is an American mathematician who works on combinatorics , graph theory , linear algebra (matrix theory) and coding theory.

Brualdi studied at the University of Connecticut ( bachelor's degree in 1960) and at Syracuse University , where he received his master's degree in 1962 and his doctorate in 1964 with Herbert Ryser ( Combinatorial Aspects of the Direct Product of Matrices ). From 1965 he was an assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin – Madison , where he received a full professorship in 1973, Beckwith Bascom Professor of Combinatorial Mathematics from 2004 and retired in 2008. In 1974 he was a visiting scholar at the University of Budapest (as a Research Fellow of the National Academy of Sciences ) and in 1969/70 as a NATO Fellow at the University of Sheffield .

In 2000 he received the Euler Medal for his life's work in combinatorics. In 2005 he received the ILAS Hans Schneider Prize . From 1996 to 2002 he was President of the International Linear Algebra Society (ILAS).

Brualdi is co-editor of the Electronic Journal of Combinatorics (since 2001) and of Linear Algebra and its Applications (since 1979). He has been married since 1978 and has two children.
