About the Authors
Noga Alon received his Ph.D. in Mathematics at the
Hebrew
University of Jerusalem under the supervision of Micha Perles. He
is a Baumritter Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science
at Tel Aviv University, and visits frequently the Institute for
Advanced Study in Princeton. He works in Combinatorics, Graph
Theory and their applications in Theoretical Computer Science,
focusing on combinatorial algorithms, combinatorial geometry,
combinatorial number theory, algebraic and probabilistic methods
in Combinatorics, and has also been working on Circuit Complexity,
Streaming algorithms, and topological methods in Combinatorics.
He is a member of the Israel National Academy of Sciences and of
Academia Europaea, and received several awards including the
