He is professor of mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. His research interests include complexity theory, parallel algorithms, graph theory, cryptography, distributed computing, and neural networks.[2] BiographyWigderson did his undergraduate studies at the Technion in Haifa, Israel, graduating in 1980, and went on to graduate study at Princeton University. He received his Ph.D. in 1983 for work in computational complexity under the supervision of Richard Lipton.[2] After short-term positions at the University of California, Berkeley, the IBM Almaden Research Center in San Jose, California, and the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley, he joined the faculty of Hebrew University in 1986. In 1999 he also took a position at the Institute for Advanced Study, and in 2003 he gave up his Hebrew University position to take up full-time residence at the IAS.[3] Awards and honorsWigderson received the Nevanlinna Prize in 1994 for his work on computational complexity.[4] Along with Omer Reingold and Salil Vadhan he won the 2009 Gödel Prize for work on the zig-zag product of graphs, a method of combining smaller graphs to produce larger ones used in the construction of expander graphs.[5] He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2013.[6] He was elected as an ACM Fellow in 2018 for "contributions to theoretical computer science and mathematics".[7] References1. ^{{Citation|last=Wigderson|first=Avi|date=May 22, 2014|title=Resumé|url=http://www.math.ias.edu/~avi/CV_shortbio/Drupal_CV/avicv_5_22.pdf|accessdate=March 7, 2016}} 2. ^{{Mathgenealogy|id=82100}}. 3. ^1 Short biography {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100612023406/http://math.ias.edu/~avi/cv%20%26%20short%20bio/shortbio.pdf |date=June 12, 2010 }} from Wigderson's web site, retrieved 2010-05-03. 4. ^{{citation|journal=Jerusalem Post|date=Aug 3, 1994|title=HU Professor Wins 'Nobel Prize' Of Computers}} 5. ^{{citation|title=Avi Wigderson and Colleagues Honored with 2009 Gödel Prize|publisher=Institute for Advanced Study|url=http://www.ias.edu/news/news-briefs/avi-wigderson-and-colleagues-honored-with-2009-g-del-prize|accessdate=2010-05-03}} 6. ^National Academy of Sciences Members and Foreign Associates Elected, National Academy of Sciences, April 30, 2013. 7. ^{{citation|url=https://www.acm.org/media-center/2018/december/fellows-2018|title=2018 ACM Fellows Honored for Pivotal Achievements that Underpin the Digital Age|publisher=Association for Computing Machinery|date=December 5, 2018}} External links
