Avi Wigderson, renowned mathematician and professor at the Institute for Advanced Study, received the prestigious 2023 ACM A.M. Turing Award, known as the “Nobel Prize of Computing.”
Wigderson’s groundbreaking work in the theory of computation, particularly his insights into the role of randomness, earned him this esteemed recognition from the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).
Being the first individual to be honored with both the Turing Award and the Abel Prize underscores Wigderson’s exceptional contributions to both computer science and mathematics, solidifying his status as a pioneer in these fields.
