Biography

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]
