Donald W. Loveland (born December 26, 1934 in Rochester, New York)[1] is a professor emeritus of computer science at Duke University who specializes in artificial intelligence.[2] He is well-known for the Davis–Putnam–Logemann–Loveland algorithm.[3]
Loveland graduated from Oberlin College in 1956, received a Masters degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1958 and a Ph.D. from New York University in 1964. He joined the Duke University Computer Science Department in 1973. He previously served as a faculty member in the Department of Mathematics at New York University and Carnegie Mellon University.[4][5][1]
He received the Herbrand Award for Distinguished Contributions to Automated Reasoning in 2001.[5] He is a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery (2000)[6] and a Fellow of the Association of Artificial Intelligence (1993).[7]
