Bruno Buchberger (born October 22, 1942 in Innsbruck) is Professor of Computer Mathematics at Johannes Kepler University in Linz, Austria. In his 1965 Ph.D. thesis, he created the theory of Gröbner bases, and has developed this theory throughout his career. He named these objects after his advisor Wolfgang Gröbner. Since 1995, he is active in the Theorema project at the University of Linz.
In 1987 Buchberger founded and chaired the Research Institute for Symbolic Computation (RISC) at Johannes Kepler University. In 1985 he started the Journal of Symbolic Computation, which has now become the premier publication in the field of computer algebra.
For his theory of Grobner bases, Buchberger received the 2007 ACM Paris Kanellakis Theory and Practice Award [ [http://www.ascribe.org/cgi-bin/behold.pl?ascribeid=20080513.091858&time=11%%0A2010%20PDT&year=2008&public=1 ACM Honors Innovator of Automated Tools for Mathematics; Bruno Buchberger Developed Algorithm Used in Computer Algebra to Solve Problems in Computer Science, Engineering, Science] ] . He was also awarded the "Golden Medal of Honor" by the Upper Austrian Government. He has received honorary doctorates from the University of Nijmegen (1993) and the West University of Timişoara (2000). ]ee also
