We are delighted to share the news that Irit Dveer Dinur and Elon Lindenstrauss have been appointed as permanent faculty members at IAS Princeton. 

Dinur and Lindenstrauss have a long-standing association with the Israel Institute for Advanced Studies, where their potential was recognized early on with the Michael Bruno Memorial Award. Dinur received the Bruno Award in 2007, and Lindenstrauss in 2008. Both scholars have also taught, organized, and led several Advanced School in Mathematics at IIAS, enriching the IIAS academic community with their expertise and leadership.

Irit Dveer Dinur, a leading figure in theoretical computer science, has made transformative contributions to computational complexity, optimization, and coding theory. Her groundbreaking work on probabilistically checkable proofs (PCPs) and differential privacy has garnered numerous accolades, including the Gödel Prize and the ACM Paris Kanellakis Theory and Practice Award. Dinur's innovative proof of the PCP theorem has significantly impacted the field by simplifying a previously complex area of study.

Elon Lindenstrauss, an authority in ergodic theory and dynamical systems, has pioneered advancements that bridge classical mechanics and number theory. His work has provided significant insights into the long-term evolution of complex systems. Awarded the Fields Medal in 2010, Lindenstrauss continues to inspire and influence the mathematical community with his groundbreaking research.

The appointments of Dinur and Lindenstrauss to the IAS Princeton faculty underscore their exceptional talent and the global recognition of their contributions. At IIAS, we take immense pride in having supported their early careers and witnessed their remarkable journeys. Their achievements highlight the importance of fostering academic excellence and nurturing promising scholars.
