Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden

Professor Selman is one of the founders of structural complexity theory. To this date, he is one of the leading scientists in this field, which he---like only very few other researchers---has crucially shaped by his innovative ideas and scientific achievements. He initiated and significantly contributed to the development of many subfields of complexity theory, such as the theory of P-selective sets and the complexity-theoretic foundation of cryptography by the study of promise problems and one-way functions.
