Vladimir Rokhlin Jr. (born August 4, 1952) is a mathematician[1][2] and professor of computer science and mathematics at Yale University.[3] He is the co-inventor with Leslie Greengard of the fast multipole method (FMM) in 1985, recognised as one of the top-ten algorithms of the 20th century.[1][4][5]

In 2008, Rokhlin was elected as a member into the National Academy of Engineering for the development of fast multipole algorithms and their application to electromagnetic and acoustic scattering.
