Torsten Suel is a professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the New York University Tandon School of Engineering. ^[1] He received his Ph.D. in 1994 from the University of Texas at Austin under the supervision of Greg Plaxton. ^[2] He works on the subjects of implementation of bulk synchronous parallel computation, streaming algorithms for histograms, join operations in databases, distributed algorithms for dominating sets, and web crawler algorithms. A conference paper he co-authored in 2011 introduces fast retrieval techniques that were integrated into the Apache Lucene search engine library. ^[3]
