Andrej Bogdanov
grew up in Macedonia in the former Yugoslavia. He tried to
take his first steps in computing on a
Galaksija
but the
machine wouldn't start. Later he attended summer camps for kids who like
geometry, the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality (still a favorite), and swimming in
lake Ohrid at sunset. Andrej went on to MIT, Berkeley,
The Institute for Advanced Study, DIMACS at Rutgers, and
ITCS at Tsinghua University,
before joining, in 2008, the
Chinese University of
Hong Kong where he is an assistant professor at the
Department of Computer Science and
Engineering and associate director of the
Institute of Theoretical
Computer Science and Communications.
His research interests include pseudorandomness, cryptography, and
sublinear-time algorithms.
