lectures in many conferences, including plenary addresses in the 1996
European Congress of Mathematics and in the 2002 International Congress
of Mathematicians. He published more than six hundred research
papers and one book.
His research interests are mainly in Combinatorics, Graph Theory
and their applications in Theoretical Computer Science. His main
contributions include the study of expander graphs and their applications,
the investigation of derandomization techniques, the foundation of
streaming algorithms, the development and applications of algebraic and
probabilistic methods in Discrete Mathematics and the study of problems
in Information Theory, Combinatorial Geometry and Combinatorial
Number Theory.
He is an ACM Fellow and an AMS Fellow, a
member of the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities
and of the Academia Europaea, and an honorary member of the Hungarian Academy
