Peter Paule

Peter Paule is a Full Professor and Director of the Research Institute for Symbolic Computation (RISC) at Johannes Kepler University Linz (JKU). He has held leadership roles including Director of the Doctoral Program Computational Mathematics at JKU since 2008 and Director of the FWF Special Research Program SFB F013 Numerical and Symbolic Scientific Computing at JKU (2003-2008). He earned his Ph.D. in combinatorics and q-series from the University of Vienna in 1983.

• Education: Dr.phil. (Ph.D.) in Mathematics, University of Vienna (1983)

His research spans computer algebra, algorithmic mathematics, and combinatorics, with a focus on symbolic computation and special functions. He has contributed to q-series, finite element methods, and combinatorial identities through multiple FWF-funded projects.

Notable awards include the Humboldt Fellowship. He is actively involved in academic service, serving on editorial boards for The Ramanujan Journal, Annals of Combinatorics, and Digital Library of Mathematical Functions, and organizing major conferences like FPSAC'09 and ISSAC'05.
