Steven Rudich is recognized among Jewish contributors to Technology & Engineering — Complexity theorist behind the 'natural proofs' barrier; Gödel Prize (2007)
A complexity theorist at Carnegie Mellon University, Rudich, with Alexander Razborov, formulated the 'natural proofs' barrier, showing why a broad class of techniques is unlikely to resolve the P versus NP problem — work for which they shared the 2007 Gödel Prize. He was also a celebrated teacher, and is documented among Jewish American scientists.
