Rate My Professor Narsingh Deo

His research specializations include parallel algorithms and parallel data structures, network optimization algorithms, combinatorial computing, complex networks, and graph theory. Dr. Deo authored four influential books: Graph Theory with Applications to Engineering and Computer Science (Prentice-Hall, 1974; Dover, 2016), Combinatorial Algorithms: Theory and Practice (with E.M. Reingold and J. Nievergelt, Prentice-Hall, 1977), System Simulation with Digital Computers (Prentice-Hall, 1979), and Discrete Optimization Algorithms: With Pascal Programs (with M.M. Sysło and J.S. Kowalik, Prentice-Hall, 1983; Dover, 2006), translated into languages such as Russian, Polish, and Japanese. He published over 200 refereed papers, including highly cited works like “Shortest-Path Algorithms: Taxonomy and Annotation” (Networks, 1984), “Parallel Graph Algorithms” (ACM Computing Surveys, 1984), and “On Algorithms for Enumerating All Circuits of a Graph” (SIAM Journal on Computing, 1976). Dr. Deo holds patents in computer hardware and earned fellowships from IEEE, ACM, ICA, and AAAS, NASA’s Apollo Achievement Award, UCF’s Distinguished Researcher Award (1989), and multiple UCF teaching awards including Excellence in Graduate Teaching (2001). In 2017, UCF’s India Center honored his retirement.
