Michael Ralph "Mike" Fellows AC (born June 15, 1952 in Upland, California) is an American computer scientist and Professor of Computer Science at the University of Bergen, Norway as of January 2016.
Fellows received his BA in Mathematics from Sonoma State University, and at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) his M.A. in Mathematics in 1982 and in 1985 his Ph.D. in Computer Science with the dissertation Encoding Graphs in Graphs.
Until January 2016, Fellows has been professor at Charles Darwin University, Australia, and Director of the Parameterized Complexity Research Unit (PCRU). He has taught in the United States, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.
In 2014 Fellows became one of ten inaugural fellows of the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science. Also, he was named an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand (the first Computer Scientist to receive this honor). In 2007, Fellows was awarded the Alexander von Humboldt Research Award. His German host was Rolf Niedermeier and Mike spent part of 2007 and most of 2008 at the Friedrich-Schiller-Universität in Jena, Germany, working with Rolf Niedermeier. Also in 2007, Mike became one of the first Fellows of the Institute of Advanced Study (Durham), UK and a Fellow of Grey College at the University of Durham. Also he was awarded an Australian Research Council Professorial Fellowship for five years, beginning 2010.
He is an Area Editor for the Journal of Computer and System Sciences since 2004, and Advising Editor for the special Section on Parameterized Complexity in the Journal of Computer and System Sciences. He is Associate Editor for ACM Transactions on Algorithms. In 2008 was Guest Editor for a special double issue of The Computer Journal with 15 surveys on Parameterized Complexity. Also he is Guest Editor (with others) for a Special Issue on Parameterized Complexity in the Journal of Combinatorial Optimization to be published in 2010. He is a member of the Steering Committee for the conference series International Workshop on Parameterized and Exact Computation, proceedings published by Springer in Lecture Notes in Computer Science.
