Biography

Dr. Vigoda's research focuses on randomized algorithms, particularly Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms. Vigoda's acclaimed result (with collaborators M. Jerrum and A. Sinclair) is an efficient algorithm for estimating the permanent of a matrix.

His work has connections to phase transitions in Statistical Physics and phylogenetic reconstruction in Evolutionary Biology.

Biography

In the late 1980s, Dr. Mihail was one of a handful of researchers that pioneered the theory of rapidly mixing Markov chains, fundamental stochastic processes in probability theory with applications throughout science and technology. In a pathbreaking departure from traditional "asymptotic" mathematical analysis (where does the process converge), theoretical computer science raises the question of "mixing rates" (how fast does the process converge). There are two combinatorial techniques to quantify convergence rates: "coupling" and expansion or conductance." Dr.
