FACULTY:  Robert W. Floyd

GROUP:  What do you mean, ``group''?

RESEARCH:  Eclectic.  Recent subjects include analysis of algorithms 
(Quicksort, coalesced hashing), digital halftones, greedy table search,
syntax error recovery, fixpoint theory, random sampling, Fibonacci
arithmetic, Chaitin-Kolmogorov complexity.  I have directed several
distinguished dissertations, including those of Manna, Tarjan, Rivest,
Earley, and Deutsch; subjects include correctness and termination of
algorithms, graph planarity testing, table searching with partial information,
parsing of context-free languages, and automated deduction.

SLOTS AVAILABLE:  Yes.

FUNDING:  Will apply for student support.

STRUCTURE:  What do you mean, ``structure''?  I don't got to show you
no steenking structure.
