Robert Sutor

Robert Sutor is an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University at Buffalo, within the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. He holds a PhD in Mathematics from Princeton University (1992), an MA from Princeton (1983), and an AB from Harvard University (1980).

• PhD: Mathematics, Princeton University, 1992
• MA: Mathematics, Princeton University, 1983
• AB: Mathematics, Harvard University, 1980

His research focuses on quantum computing, mathematical markup languages (e.g., MathML), web standards (e.g., DOM), and computer algebra systems like AXIOM. Notable contributions include foundational work on MathML, the Document Object Model (DOM), and AXIOM compiler design. He has also explored privacy in big data and the intersection of quantum computing with societal impact.

His publications span over three decades, with key works on:

• Quantum computing theory and applications
• Mathematical content representation standards (MathML)
• Web infrastructure standards (DOM)
• Compiler design for algebraic systems

Dr. Sutor has been deeply involved in standards development through initiatives like the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and WS-I. His work bridges theoretical mathematics and practical software engineering, emphasizing interoperability and accessibility.
