Vitali Milman is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Asymptotic geometric analysis; concentration of measure
How & why
Milman is a mathematician at Tel Aviv University who developed asymptotic geometric analysis, applying the concentration-of-measure phenomenon to convex geometry — including a modern proof of Dvoretzky's theorem — reshaping the study of high-dimensional spaces. Born in Odessa, he emigrated to Israel; he is Jewish.
