Benny Sudakov

I am a Professor of Mathematics at UCLA. Before coming to Los Angeles I enjoyed the hospitality of Princeton University and Institute for Advanced Study. I got my Ph.D. in 1999 from the School of Mathematical Sciences, Tel Aviv University. My advisor was Noga Alon.

My work is supported by NSF grant DMS-1101185, AFOSR MURI grant FA9550-10-1-0569 and USA-Israel BSF grant.
