Professor Savitch is well know for his work in complexity theory, which includes the first example of a complete language, namely a language complete for the storage class log n. This fundamental work led directly to the now widespread interest in complete problems. Savitch's research interests include computational complexity of parallel programs, with an emphasis on automatically converting serial complexity bounds to parallel complexity bounds. www-cse.ucsd.edu
