Robert Krauthgamer received his Ph.D. at the
Weizmann Institute of Science
in 2001 under
Uriel Feige.
He was subsequently a postdoc in
Berkeley's theory group,
and then a Research Staff Member at the
theory group
in the
IBM Almaden Research Center.
Since 2007, he has been
a faculty member at the
Weizmann Institute of Science.
Robert's main research area is the design of algorithms
for problems involving combinatorial optimization, finite metric spaces,
high-dimensional geometry, data analysis, and related areas.
His favorite sport since youth is swimming,
and once he swam across the
Sea of Galilee
in a 10km race, and was the last one to arrive at the finish line.
