James Benjamin Saxe is an American computer scientist who has worked for many years at the DEC Systems Research Center[1] and its successors, the Compaq Systems Research Center and the Systems Research Center of HP Labs.

Saxe is known for his highly-cited publications on automated theorem proving,[DNS] circuit complexity,[FSS] retiming in synchronous circuit design,[LS] computer networks,[AOS] and static program analysis.[FLL] His work on program analysis from PLDI 2002 won the Most Influential PLDI Paper Award for 2012.[2] In addition, he is one of the authors of the master theorem for divide-and-conquer recurrences.[BHS]

While a high school student, Saxe won the United States of America Mathematical Olympiad.[3] In 1974, as a student at Union College, Saxe took part in the William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition; his place in the top five scores earned him a Putnam Fellowship.[4] He graduated from Union College in 1976,[3], and earned his Ph.D. in 1985 from Carnegie Mellon University, under the supervision of Jon Bentley.[5]
