Timeline

1947

Zvi Galil (צבי גליל; born June 26, 1947) is an Israeli-American computer scientist and mathematician.

Zvi Galil was born in Tel Aviv in Mandatory Palestine in 1947.

He completed both his B.Sc.

1970

(1970) and his M.Sc.

1971

(1971) in applied mathematics, both summa cum laude, at Tel Aviv University before earning his Ph.D. in computer science at Cornell University in 1975 under the supervision of John Hopcroft.

He then spent a year working as a post-doctorate researcher at IBM's Thomas J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, New York.

1976

From 1976 until 1995 he worked in the computer science department of Tel Aviv University, serving as its chair from 1979 to 1982.

1982

In 1982 he joined the faculty of Columbia University, serving as the chair of the computer science department from 1989-1994.

In 1982, Galil founded the Columbia University Theory Day and organized the event for the first 15 years.

It still exists as the New York Area Theory Day.

1983

From 1983 to 1987, Galil served as the chairman of ACM SIGACT, an organization that promotes research in theoretical computer science.

1987

At Columbia, he was appointed the Julian Clarence Levi Professor of Mathematical Methods and Computer Science in 1987, and the Morris and Alma A. Schapiro Dean of Engineering in 1995.

1991

He served as managing editor of SIAM Journal on Computing from 1991 to 1997 and editor in chief of Journal of Algorithms from 1988 to 2003.

Galil's research is in the areas of algorithms (particularly string and graph algorithms) complexity, and cryptography.

He has also conducted research in experimental design with Jack Kiefer.

Galil's real-time algorithms are the fastest possible for string matching and palindrome recognition, and they work even on the most basic computer model, the multi-tape Turing machine.

More generally, he formulated a "predictability" condition that allows any complying online algorithm to be converted to a real-time algorithm.

With Joel Seiferas, Galil improved the time-optimal algorithms to be space optimal (logarithmic space) as well.

Galil worked with Dany Breslauer to design a linear-work, O(loglogn) parallel algorithm for string matching, and they later proved it to have the best possible time complexity among linear work algorithms.

With other computer scientists, he designed a constant-time linear-work randomized search algorithm to be used when the pattern preprocessing is given.

With his students, Galil designed more than a dozen currently-fastest algorithms for exact or approximate, sequential or parallel, and one- or multi-dimensional string matching.

Galil worked with other computer scientists to develop several currently-fastest graph algorithms.

Examples include: maximum weighted matching; trivalent graph isomorphism; and minimum weight spanning trees.

1995

From 1995-2007, he served as the dean of the Fu Foundation School of Engineering & Applied Science.

In this position, he oversaw the naming of the school in honor of Chinese businessman Z. Y. Fu after a large donation was given in his name.

2007

Galil served as the president of Tel Aviv University from 2007 through 2009.

Galil served as the president of Tel Aviv University starting in 2007 (following Itamar Rabinovich), but resigned and returned to the faculty in 2009, and was succeeded by Joseph Klafter.

2010

From 2010 to 2019, he was the dean of the Georgia Institute of Technology College of Computing.

His research interests include the design and analysis of algorithms, computational complexity and cryptography.

He has been credited with coining the terms stringology and sparsification.

He has published over 200 scientific papers and is listed as an ISI highly cited researcher.

He was named as the dean of Georgia Tech's college of computing on April 9, 2010.

At Georgia Tech, together with Udacity founder Sebastian Thrun, Galil conceived of the college of computing's online Master of Science in computer science (OMSCS) program, and he led the faculty creation of the program.

OMSCS went on to become the largest online master’s program in computer science in the United States.

2013

OMSCS has been featured in hundreds of articles, including a 2013 front-page article in The New York Times and 2021 interviews in The Wall Street Journal and Forbes.

Inside Higher Education noted that OMSCS "suggests that institutions can successfully deliver high-quality, low-cost degrees to students at scale".

The Chronicle of Higher Education noted that OMSCS "may have the best chance of changing how much students pay for a traditional degree".

A 2023 Forbes article titled "The Greatest Degree Program Ever" stated that OMSCS "is - by nearly any measure - the most successful degree program in history".

2019

Galil stepped down as dean and returned to a regular faculty position in June 2019.

He now serves as the Frederick G. Storey Chair in Computing and Executive Advisor to Online Programs at Georgia Tech.
