With Keith M. Ball, Shiri Artstein, and Assaf Naor, he solved Shannon's problem of the monotonous entropy increase of sums of random variables.
Awards
In 2004, he received the EMS Prize (prize presentation: isoperimetric inequalities, probability measures and convex geometry) for his leading role in the application of mass-theoretical transport techniques.
In 2005, he received the Grand Prix Jacques Herbrand. He also developed a functional form of isoperimetric inequalities.
