Arie Bialostocki is an Israeli American mathematician with expertise and contributions in discrete mathematics and finite groups.[2][1]
Arie received his BSc, MSc, and PhD (1984) degrees from Tel-Aviv University in Israel.[1] His dissertation was done under the supervision of Marcel Herzog.[3] After a year of postdoc at University of Calgary, Canada, he took a faculty position at the University of Idaho, became a professor in 1992, and continued to work there until he retired at the end of 2011.[2] At Idaho, Arie maintained correspondence and collaborations with researchers from around the world who would share similar interests in mathematics.[2] His Erdős number is 1.[4] He has supervised seven PhD students and numerous undergraduate students who enjoyed his colorful anecdotes and advice.[2] He organized the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at the University of Idaho from 1999 to 2003 attracting many promising undergraduates who themselves have gone on to their outstanding research careers.[2]
Arie has published more than 50 publications in reputed mathematics journals.[5][6] The following are some of Arie's most important contributions:
