Theory
An average-case depth hierarchy theorem for Boolean circuits, a paper co-authored by Rocco A. Servedio and student Li-Yang Tan wins Best Paper at FOCS 2015.
In a retelling of Alice in Wonderland, Bishop illustrates the fundamentals and power of cryptography while warning how human error undermines that power.
With his former student Li-Yang Tan (PhD ’14), he will use random projections to prove lower bounds on Boolean circuits.
