Robbert van Renesse, a Dutch American mathematician, computer scientist, and principal research scientist at Cornell University, and further Guitar and Ukulele player and composer. He defended his Ph.D. in 1989 at Vrije Universiteit under supervision of Andrew S. Tanenbaum. His research interests include parallel and distributed computing, in particular scalability, fault tolerance and consensus. Along with Henri Bal in 1986, he wrote two papers on parallel alpha-beta, often quoted in other papers on that topic.
