Expertise: Algorithms; Computing Education Research
Robbie Weber is an assistant teaching professor in the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington. He earned his Ph.D. in 2020 as part of the Allen School’s Theory Group, advised by Shayan Oveis Gharan and Anna Karlin.
Weber spends most of his time teaching a wide array of theory and theory-adjacent CSE courses. He tries to make theoretical CS approachable, interesting, and useful for all of his students. He also does research on CS education, focused on practical ways to make theory courses better. When he still does theory research, it is advising undergraduates in algorithm design for graph problems and combinatorial questions.
