Noga Alon
Noga M. Alon (Hebrew: נוגה אלון; born 1956) is an Israeli mathematician and a professor of mathematics at Princeton University noted for his contributions to combinatorics and theoretical computer science, having authored hundreds of papers.
Alon was born in 1956 in Haifa, where he graduated from the Hebrew Reali School in 1974. He graduated summa cum laude from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology in 1979, earned a master's degree in mathematics in 1980 from Tel Aviv University, and received his Ph.D. in Mathematics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1983 with the dissertation Extremal Problems in Combinatorics supervised by Micha Perles.
After postdoctoral research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Alon returned to Tel Aviv University as a senior lecturer in 1985, obtained a permanent position as an associate professor there in 1986, and was promoted to full professor in 1988. He was head of the School of Mathematical Science from 1999 to 2001, and was awarded the Florence and Ted Baumritter Combinatorics and Computer Science Chair. He retired as professor emeritus from Tel Aviv and became a professor at Princeton University in 2018.
He was editor-in-chief of the journal Random Structures and Algorithms from 2008 through 2023.
Alon has published more than five hundred research papers, mostly in combinatorics and in theoretical computer science, and one book, on the probabilistic method. He has also published under the pseudonym "A. Nilli", based on the name of his daughter Nilli Alon.
His research contributions include the combinatorial Nullstellensatz, an algebraic tool with applications in combinatorics; color-coding, a technique for fixed-parameter tractability of pattern-matching algorithms in graphs; and the Alon–Boppana bound in spectral graph theory.
Alon has received a number of awards, including the following:
Alon gave plenary addresses at the 1996 European Congress of Mathematics, at the 2002 International Congress of Mathematicians, at the 2009 Turán Memorial Lectures, and a lecture in the 1990 International Congress of Mathematicians. In 2015 he gave the Łojasiewicz Lecture (on the "Signrank and its applications in combinatorics and complexity") at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków. He was given an honorary doctorate by ETH Zurich in 2013 and by the University of Waterloo in 2015.
