Benny Sudakov
Benjamin "Benny" Sudakov ( Hebrew בני סודקוב; * October 1969 in Tblissi ) is an Israeli mathematician .
Life
Sudakov studied mathematics at Tbilisi State University with an intermediate diploma degree in 1990 and at Tel Aviv University with a master's degree summa cum laude in 1993. He received his doctorate in Tel Aviv in 1999 with Noga Alon (dissertation: Extremal problems in probabilistic combinatorics and their algorithmic aspects ). In 2002 he became an assistant professor at Princeton University , and he was a member of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton (2003 and 2005 to 2006). In 2007 he became a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles , and has been a professor at ETH Zurich since 2013 .
He deals with extremal combinatorics, algebraic and probabilistic methods in combinatorics , graph theory , Ramsey theory , random structures in combinatorics and applications of combinatorics in computer science .
In 2010 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Hyderabad (India) ( Recent developments in extremal combinatorics: Ramsey and Turán-type problems ). In 2014 he received the Humboldt Research Award , in 2013 he became a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society and in 2019 a member of the Academia Europaea . From 2004 to 2006 he was a Sloan Research Fellow .
His graduate students include Jacob Fox , with whom (and David Conlon) he also published improved bounds on Ramsey numbers of hypergraphs.
