Steve Alpern is a professor of Operational Research at the University of Warwick, where he recently moved after working for many years at the London School of Economics. His early work was mainly in the area of dynamical systems and ergodic theory, but his more recent research has been concentrated in the fields of search games and rendezvous.[1] He informally introduced the rendezvous problem as early as 1976.[2] His collaborators include Shmuel Gal, Vic Baston and Robbert Fokkink. Professor Alpern is also a very keen tennis player, and is usually seen at the David Lloyd club playing tennis with such intellectual luminaries including Edmond Abrahamson and Bulend Yuksel, the ultimate Turkish chef and Raconteur. He is often seen in North London dining with the international correspondent Shyam Bhatia, and Sanjiv Talwar, the entrepreneur and a purveyor of PVC clothing .
