Jeff Kahn
Jeffry Ned Kahn is a professor of mathematics at Rutgers University notable for his work in combinatorics. Kahn received his Ph.D from the Ohio State University in 1979 after completing his dissertation under his advisor Dwijendra Kumar Ray-Chaudhuri.[1]
In 1993, together with Gil Kalai, he disproved Borsuk's conjecture.[2] In 1996 he was awarded the Pólya Prize (SIAM). In 2004, with David Galvin[3] he has made seminal contributions to the combinatorial theory of phase transitions.
