Noga Alon (Template:Lang-he; born 17 February 1956) is an Israeli mathematician and a professor of mathematics at Princeton University noted for his contributions to combinatorics and theoretical computer science, having authored hundreds of papers.
Academic background
Alon is a Professor of Mathematics at Princeton University and a Baumritter Professor Emeritus of Mathematics and Computer Science at Tel Aviv University, Israel. He graduated from the Hebrew Reali School in 1974 and received his Ph.D. in Mathematics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1983 and had visiting positions in various research institutes including MIT, The Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, IBM Almaden Research Center, Bell Labs, Bellcore and Microsoft Research. He serves on the editorial boards of more than a dozen international journals, since 2008 he is the editor-in-chief of Random Structures and Algorithms. He has given lectures in many conferences, including plenary addresses in the 1996 European Congress of Mathematics and in the 2002 International Congress of Mathematicians, the 2009 Turán Memorial Lectures,[1] and a lecture in the 1990 International Congress of Mathematicians.
Research
Alon has published more than five hundred research papers, mostly in combinatorics and in theoretical computer science, and one book. He has also published under the pseudonym "A. Nilli".
Alon is the principal founder of the Combinatorial Nullstellensatz which has many applications in combinatorics and number theory.
