Biography

Siemion Fajtlowicz has received his PhD from Wroclaw University after writing dissertation under direction of Professor Marczewski in Polish Academy of Sciences in 1965-67. Currently he is a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Houston. He wrote the first computer program whose conjectures inspired papers by mathematicians, some as well-known as Paul Erdos. His program Graffiti made also chemical hypotheses, one of which proved to be correct, in spite of initial skeptical reaction of a fullerene expert. Fajtlowicz is an author of over fifty publications in fields of automated conjectures, graph theory, universal algebra, and mathematical chemistry. He is a Fellow of The Institute of Combinatorics and its Applications and The International Academy of Mathematical Chemistry.
