Nominator's project description

Professor Bobkov is well known internationally for his outstanding research in mathematics on the border of probability theory, analysis, convex geometry and information theory. He has obtained important results about isoperimetric problems, concentration of measure and other high-dimensional phenomena. In Germany, he continues his studies on information-theoretic distances in limit theorems of probability theory.
