János Körner
János Körner (* 1946 ) is a Hungarian mathematician who deals with information theory and combinatorics.
Körner studied mathematics at the Loránd Eötvös University in Budapest with a degree in 1970 and then worked at the Alfred Renyi Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences until 1992. From 1981 to 1983 he was at Bell Laboratories and 1987/77 at Télécom ParisTech (ENST) in Paris. He has been a professor at the University of Rome (La Sapienza) since 1993 .
He worked with Rudolf Ahlswede , with whom he demonstrated the Blowing Up Lemma together with Peter Gács , and with Katalin Marton and Imre Csiszár . In addition to information theory, he also deals, for example, with extremal graph theory.
In 2014 he received the Claude E. Shannon Award . He is co-editor of the IEEE Transactions on Information Theory. He is an external member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.
