Boris Trakhtenbrot

Boris (Boaz) Avraamovich Trakhtenbrot (Russian: Борис Авраамович Трахтенброт; born February 19, 1921, in Brichevo, northern Bessarabia)[1][2] or Boaz (Boris) Trakhtenbrot (Hebrew: בועז טרכטנברוט‎) is an Israeli and Russian mathematician in mathematical logic, algorithms, theory of computation and cybernetics. He worked at Akademgorodok, Novosibirsk during the 1960s and 1970s.[3] Currently he is a professor in the faculty of Exact sciences of Tel Aviv University.

In 1964 Trakhtenbrot discovered and proved a fundamental result in theoretical computer science called the Gap theorem.[4] He also discovered and proved what is now called Trakhtenbrot's theorem[5] which is a theorem in logic, model theory, and computability theory.
