Lipton and his many contributions to the discipline of computer science extends far beyond theory.  For more than 30 years, Dick Lipton has been producing some of what the Association for Computing Machinery calls \u201cthe most influential work in the field.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EPerhaps some of his most prominent work is in the field of cryptography, where he cracked \u201cMental Poker\u201d which led others to state precisely the notion of semantic security.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EMaybe it\u0027s his pioneering work on DNA computers, showing that DNA molecules can be used to solve complex combinatorial problems.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EPossibly it is his advancement of complexity theory with his proof of the Karp-Lipton theorem in 1980 while at Princeton, or more fundamentally, his proof of the Planar Separator Theorem with R. Tarjan that leads to elegant recursive algorithms for planar graphs.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThrough his time spent at Yale, Berkeley, Princeton, and the Georgia Institute of Technology, prestigious appointments such as election to the National Academy of Engineering and selection as both an ACM and a Guggenheim Fellow, and with over 160 publications to his name, Dr. Lipton has given us an exceptionally long and notable list of reasons to celebrate him on the occasion of his 60th birthday.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EPlease join us at Georgia Tech on April 26, 27, and 28 as we celebrate this personal milestone, recognize one person\u2019s history of true impact on science, and pay tribute to one of the greatest figures in computer science \u2013 Dr. Richard J.
