Benny Sudakov (born October 1969) [1] is an Israeli mathematician, who works mainly on extremal and probabilistic combinatorics.
He was born in Tbilissi, Georgia, [1] and completed his undergraduate studies at Tbilisi State University in 1990. [2] After emigrating to Israel, he received his PhD from Tel Aviv University in 1999, under the supervision of Noga Alon. [3] From 1999 until 2002 he held a Veblen Research Instructorship, [4] a joint position between Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study. Until 2007 he was an assistant professor at Princeton University. Until 2014, he was a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles. [2] In July 2013 Sudakov joined ETH Zurich as a professor. [5]
Sudakov has broad interests within the field of combinatorics, having written papers on extremal combinatorics, Ramsey theory, random graphs, and positional games. [2]
In 2012 he became a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society. [6]
He gave an invited talk at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 2010 at Hyderabad, on the topic of "Combinatorics". [7]
Sir William Timothy Gowers, is a British mathematician. He is Professeur titulaire of the Combinatorics chair at the Collège de France, and director of research at the University of Cambridge and Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. In 1998, he received the Fields Medal for research connecting the fields of functional analysis and combinatorics.
Béla Bollobás FRS is a Hungarian-born British mathematician who has worked in various areas of mathematics, including functional analysis, combinatorics, graph theory, and percolation. He was strongly influenced by Paul Erdős since the age of 14.
Peter Clive Sarnak is a South African-born mathematician with dual South-African and American nationalities.
