Peter Paule

Prof. Peter Paule is a retired Full Professor at the Research Institute for Symbolic Computation (RISC) of Johannes Kepler University (JKU) Linz, Austria, succeeding Bruno Buchberger. He served as RISC Director from 2009 to 2023 and as director of the FWF Special Research Program SFB F013 (2003–2008). Since May 2024, he is a Guest Professor at Tianjin University’s Center for Applied Mathematics.

Paule holds a Ph.D. from the University of Vienna (1983) and a Habilitation in Mathematics from JKU (1996). His research focuses on symbolic computation, combinatorics, special functions, and algorithmic mathematics. He has contributed to creative telescoping, partition analysis, and Ramanujan-Sato series, with over 100 publications in top journals and books.

He served as editor for journals like the Ramanujan Journal, Annals of Combinatorics, and the Journal of Symbolic Computation. His academic leadership includes directing the Doctoral Program in Computational Mathematics (2008–2017). His research group has produced numerous students and postdocs, advancing algorithmic methods in combinatorics and number theory.
