an American mathematician and computer scientist, since 1978 associate professor, since 2007 professor emeritus at Department of Computer Science, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levine_Science_Research_Center Levine Science Research Center], [[Duke University]]. He received his B.S. degree from [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology]] in 1962, and the Ph.D. degree from the [[Carnegie Mellon University]] in 1968, and before Duke, he was assistant professor at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornell_University Cornell University] and associate professor of CS at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanderbilt_University Vanderbilt University] <ref>[https://users.cs.duke.edu/~raw/ Robert Wagner's Home Page]</ref>.

His research interests include experimental [[VLSI Design|VLSI architectures]], application of [[Dynamic Programming|dynamic programming]] to [[Algorithms|algorithms]] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_design systems design], design of optimal software and hardware systems, and time-cost trade-offs in abstract parallel computer models.

In 1961 at MIT, Robert A. Wagner became member of the "the chess group" supervised by [[John McCarthy]], along with [[Alan Kotok]], [[Charles Niessen]] and [[Michael A. Lieberman]].

They wrote the chess program for the [[IBM 7090]] <ref>[[Alan Kotok]] ('''1962''').
