Rudolf Ahlswede (1971)

Rudolf Ahlswede (born September 15, 1938 in Dielmissen , † December 18, 2010 in Polle ) was a German mathematician .

Ahlswede received his doctorate in 1966 in Göttingen under Konrad Jacobs with the topic "Contributions to Shannon's information theory in the case of non-stationary channels". He devoted himself to information theory in his further career and was one of the world's leading exponents in this field.

In 1988 he and Imre Csiszar received the Prize Paper Award from the IEEE Information Theory Society for a thesis in the field of hypothesis testing and in 1990 with Gunter Dueck for a new theory of message identification. He was thus one of the current four scientists who have been awarded this prize twice.

As a professor emeritus at Bielefeld University , Ahlswede received the 2006 Claude Elwood Shannon Award from the IEEE Information Theory Society. The award is named after Claude Elwood Shannon and has been awarded since 1974 for outstanding achievements in the field of information theory. The award went only five times to non-US scientists.
