Wojciech Samotij (Polish: [ˈvɔjt͡ɕɛx saˈmɔtij]) is a Polish mathematician and a full professor at the School of Mathematical Sciences at the Tel Aviv University. He is known for his work in combinatorics, additive number theory, Ramsey theory and graph theory.[1]
Education and career
[edit]He studied at the University of Wrocław where in 2007 he obtained his Master of Science degrees in mathematics and computer science. He received his PhD in 2011 at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign on the basis of his dissertation titled Extremal Problems In Pseudo-random Graphs And Asymptotic Enumeration and written under the supervision of József Balogh.[2]
Between 2010 and 2014, he was a fellow of the Trinity College, Cambridge at the University of Cambridge. Currently, he is an associate professor at Tel Aviv University.[1] He published his scientific work in such journals as Random Structures & Algorithms, Journal of the American Mathematical Society, or Israel Journal of Mathematics.[3]
Awards
[edit]He received the 2013 Kuratowski Prize conferred jointly by the Polish Academy of Sciences and the Polish Mathematical Society to young mathematicians under the age of 30. The same year, he won the 2013 European Prize in Combinatorics.[4] Samotij is also the recipient of the 2016 George Pólya Prize[5] and the 2022 Erdős Prize.[6] In 2024 he was awarded the Leroy P. Steele Prize for Seminal Contribution to Research jointly with József Balogh and Robert Morris.[7]
