The conference will honor both Avi’s extraordinary scientific legacy and his transformative role in shaping the intellectual community around theoretical computer science and discrete mathematics at IAS. Avi Wigderson has made foundational contributions across an exceptional range of areas in theoretical computer science and mathematics. His work has had a profound impact on complexity theory broadly, and especially on cryptography, circuit and proof complexity, communication complexity, pseudorandomness, and expander graphs; in recent years, he has also opened deep and unexpected connections to invariant theory. These contributions have shaped major research directions and influenced generations of mathematicians and theoretical computer scientists. CONFIRMED SPEAKERS (ALL ALUMNI OF CSDM): Robert Andrews, University of Waterloo  Boaz Barak, Harvard University Maria Chudnovsky, Princeton University Julia Chuzhoy, Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago Gil Cohen, Tel Aviv University Yotam Dikstein, Tel Aviv University Fernando Granha Jeronimo, University of Illinois Pavel Hrubes, Charles University Valentine Kabanets, Simon Fraser University Tali Kaufman, Bar Ilan University Subhash Khot, NYU Swastik Kopparty, University of Toronto Parvesh Kothari, Princeton University Raghu Meka, University of California, Los Angeles Dor Minzer, MIT Ankur Moitra, MIT Shay… a7a99c3d46944b65a08073518d638c23
