Alan D. Berenbaum *75

Alan Berenbaum, a computer scientist, died Jan. 27, 2016, of an aggressive variety of T-cell lymphoma at New York’s Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. He was 64.

Berenbaum received an undergraduate degree from Yale in 1973, and in 1975 earned a master’s degree in electrical engineering from Princeton.

For more than 25 years, he was a scientist with Bell Labs. Most recently, he was the senior architect designing chips for Microchip Technologies. He was the holder of several patents, and also taught at The Cooper Union.

Berenbaum is survived by his domestic partner of 43 years, Eileen M. Lach *76; and two close sisters. His many friends remember him as an “intoxicating, incisive conversationalist, at ease with subjects from quantum physics to Formula One racing to the absurdities of today’s politics.”

Graduate memorials are prepared by the APGA.
