Theory of Computation

Coenraad Bron was a Dutch computer scientist, born on 2 August 1937 and died on 15 August 2006. He was born in Amsterdam and read chemistry at Utrecht University before moving to Eindhoven University, where he began work in the group of Edsger W. Dijkstra and worked with Dijkstra on the THE multiprogramming system. Together with Joep Kerbosch he invented the Bron-Kerbosch algorithm for the clique problem. In 1972 he accepted an assistant professorship in computing science at Twente University and became a full professor there in 1980. He died in Assen at the age of 69.
