Andrew V. Goldberg

Andrew V. Goldberg is an Endowed Chair Professor in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Lehigh University since July 1, 2025. A globally recognized expert in operations research and algorithms, he has held research positions at Stanford University, Microsoft Research, and Amazon.

• PhD in Computer Science, MIT
• MS in Computer Science, UC Berkeley
• BS in Mathematics, MIT

His groundbreaking research includes the push-relabel algorithm for maximum flow problems and an average-case linear-time algorithm for shortest path problems, both revolutionizing network optimization and computational science. His work impacts transportation, network routing, and education through widespread adoption in academic curricula.

Goldberg has received prestigious accolades including:

• Fellowships: ACM (2009), SIAM (2013)
• Prizes: A.W. Tucker Prize (1988), Farkas Prize (2011)
• Test of Time Awards from ESA

With 26,000+ Google Scholar citations (h-index 74) and 17 patents, he bridges theoretical innovation with industrial applications. His research focuses on developing algorithms that improve systems ranging from undergraduate ISE coursework to real-world logistics networks.
