Michael Langberg
I am a faculty member in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at The Open University of Israel. Previously, I was a postdoc at Caltech. I completed my PhD studies at the Weizmann Institute of Science in 2003 under the supervision of Uri Feige.
My studies and research are in the fields of Theoretical Computer Science and Information Theory. My broad area of interest is in the design and analysis of algorithms for combinatorial problems. I have special interest in algorithmic and combinatorial aspects of Information Theory and in the study of approximation algorithms for NP-hard problems. Closely related interests of mine include computational and combinatorial geometry, probabilistic methods in combinatorics, the use of randomization in computation, coding theory and computational complexity.
Recent and upcoming events:
- IEEE Information Theory Workshop (ITW), Dublin, Ireland, August 2010 (TPC member).
- The 'Fourth Israel CS theory day' at the Open University (March 24, 2011). We are currently working on the next day come March 2012!
- International Workshop on Network Coding (NetCod), Beijing, China, July 2011 (TPC member).
- IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT), Cambridge MA, USA, 2012 (TPC member).
- International Workshop on Network Coding (NetCod), Cambridge MA, USA, 2012 (TPC member).
