He graduated from the City College of New York. He earned his Ph.D. at MIT in 1974, working with Curtis Greene on hyperplane arrangements. His thesis was published by the American Mathematical Society in 1975. He has taught at Binghamton University in New York since 1985. He has written about matroid theory and hyperplane arrangements, and also about coding theory, counting lattice points, and Sperner theory. He has also prepared a bibliography on signed graphs and their applications.
