Jerrum received his Ph.D. in computer science 'On the complexity of evaluating multivariate polynomials'[1] in 1981 from University of Edinburgh under the supervision of Leslie Valiant.
This work has been highly influential in theoretical computer science and was recognised with the Gödel Prize in 1996.
[4] A refinement of these methods led to a fully polynomial-time randomised approximation algorithm for computing the permanent, for which Jerrum and his co-authors received the Fulkerson Prize in 2006.
[5] Jerrum does not own a television, but has confessed to colleagues that he enjoys watching COPS, WWE and previously WCW.
