Ronen Eldan (Hebrew: רונן אלדן; born 1980) is an Israeli mathmetician and theoretical physicist. Eldan is a senior researcher at the Weizmann Institute of Science.[1] He is among the recipients of the 2022 Blavatnik Award for Young Scientists.[2][3]
Biography edit
Early life edit
Ronen Eldan was born in Israel in 1980 to Rachel and Yoram Eldan. Eldan spent a majority of his childhood growing up in Ramat Aviv.
Education edit
In 2005, Eldan received his B.A degree in Maths from the Open University of Israel. In 2006, he persued an additional discipline in physics from Tel Aviv University.[4]
In 2013, Eldan received his PhD. from Tel-Aviv University and later worked as a post-doctorate researcher at the University of Washington.[5]
Career edit
Eldan worked as an applied mathematician, programming team-leader for the IDF, and also as a computer security specialist. In 2011, he worked as an intern at Microsoft research.[4]
In 2015, Eldan joined the Weizmann Institute's Department of Mathematics.[6]
Eldan's research touches on various mathematical fields, mostly those dealing with high dimensional probability. Eldan's main contribution is that of developing a new methodology derived from the connection seen while analyzing stochastic calculus and high-dimensional systems. Research performed by Eldan has led to new algorithms for decision-making in artificial intelligence and the limitations of neural networks in machine learning.[3]
In 2018, Eldan was awarded the Erdos Prize in Mathematics.
In 2022, Eldan was awarded the Blavatnik Award for Young Scientists for his significant contributions made in the mathematical field of high dimensional probability. The techniques developed by Eldan can be applied in various forms.[2]
