Leslie Ann Goldberg MAE is a professor of computer science at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of St Edmund Hall, Oxford.[2][3][4] Her research concerns the design and analysis of algorithms for random sampling and approximate combinatorial enumeration.[5][6]
Goldberg did her undergraduate studies at Rice University[4] and completed her PhD at the University of Edinburgh in 1992[7] under the joint supervision of Mark Jerrum[1] and Alistair Sinclair[citation needed] after she was awarded the Marshall Scholarship.[citation needed] Her dissertation, on algorithms for listing structures with polynomial delay, won the Distinguished Dissertations in Computer Science prize.[7][8]
Goldberg became the Head of Department for the Department of Computer Science, University of Oxford in October 2021.[9]
Prior to working at Oxford, her employers have included Sandia National Laboratories, the University of Warwick, and the University of Liverpool.[5][10][11][12]
Goldberg serves as editor-in-chief of the Journal of Discrete Algorithms,[13] and has served as program chair of the algorithms track of the International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming (ICALP) in 2008.[14]
She is a member of the Academia Europaea (MAE)[5] and was awarded the Suffrage Science award in 2016.[15]
