Research Experience
- Was a postdoctoral fellow at MIT (1991-1993) and at Hebrew University (Fall 1993). Has been with the University of Texas since then, with sabbaticals at U.C. Berkeley, Harvard University, and the Institute for Advanced Study.
Education
- Received an A.B. in Mathematics from Harvard University, where he was a Putnam Fellow, in 1987, and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from U.C. Berkeley in 1991.
Background
- Research interests include pseudorandomness and the role of randomness in computing. Other research areas include coding theory, distributed computing, cryptography, inapproximability, and other areas of computational complexity. He is best known for his work on randomness extractors and their applications.
Miscellany
- Background image is the atrium of the Gates Dell building, which houses the Department of Computer Science at the University of Texas at Austin.
