The four SCALGO founders include world-leading researchers on massive data and geometric algorithms.

SCALGO Founders

Lars Arge

Chairman of the Board, Co-founder

Lars Arge is a Professor of Computer Science at Aarhus University and Director of Center for Massive Data Algorithmics (MADALGO).

He earned his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Aarhus University in 1996, and was a Professor at Duke University until August 2004 (where he also still holds an Adjunct Professor position).

Lars is an elected member of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters, as well as of the Danish Academy of Technical Sciences. He is an ACM Distinguished Scientist, the recipient of the Danish Minister of Research Elite Research Award and a Career Award from the US National Science Foundation.

Pankaj K. Agarwal

Co-founder

Pankaj K. Agarwal is the RJR Nabisco Professor of Computer Science at Duke University.

He earned his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University in 1986 and his masters degree in Computer Science from the University of California Santa Barbara in 1986. Pankaj served as chair of the Department of Computer Science at Duke from 2004 to 2010. He also has an appointment in the Department of Mathematics.

Pankaj is an ACM Fellow, A Sloan Fellow, and a National Young Investigator.

Morten Revsbæk

Chief Executive Officer, Co-founder

Morten Revsbæk earned his masters degree in Computer Science from Aarhus University in 2007. Until the founding of SCALGO in 2009 he was a Ph.D. candidate at Center for Massive Data Algorithmics (MADALGO).

During the last decade Morten has worked both as a consultant on commercial software development projects and on international research projects within algorithm theory, pervasive computing and artificial intelligence. Since 2006 Morten has been involved in the development of algorithms for handling massive terrain data both in theory and in practice.

Thomas Mølhave

Chief Technology Officer, Co-founder

Thomas Mølhave earned his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Aarhus University in 2009 and was a postdoctoral associate at Duke University from 2009 to 2011.

Thomas has been the principal developer of several massive data projects (such as TerraSTREAM and TPIE). Thomas received (with co-authors Agarwal and Beutel) the best paper award at the ACM International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information Systems in 2010.
