Organizers: Irit Dinur (Betsey Lombard Overdeck Theory of Computing
Professor, School of Mathematics) and Amir Shpilka (Tel Aviv
University)
Dates: June 14-18, 2027
The Institute for Advanced Study’s School of Mathematics is pleased
to announce a conference celebrating Avi Wigderson’s 70th birthday
and retirement, together with 30 years of the Computer Science and
Discrete Mathematics program (CSDM) at IAS. 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.
