Vojtěch Rödl
Vojtěch Rödl is a Czech mathematician, currently the Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor at Emory University in Atlanta, known for his work in combinatorics.
Education and career
Rödl received his Ph.D. from Charles University, Prague in 1976; his advisor was Zdenek Hedrlin. Significant contributions include his work with Jaroslav Nešetřil on Ramsey theory, his proof of the Erdős–Hanani conjecture on hypergraph packing[1] and his development, together with Brendan Nagle, Mathias Schacht, and Jozef Skokan (and independently of Timothy Gowers), of the hypergraph regularity lemma.[2][3]
In 2012, Rödl and his former student Schacht were awarded the George Pólya Prize by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, for their work on hypergraph regularity.[4]
