He was born in Tbilissi, Georgia,[1] and completed his undergraduate studies at Tbilisi State University in 1990.[2] After emigrating to Israel, he received his PhD from Tel Aviv University in 1999, under the supervision of Noga Alon.[3] From 1999 until 2002 he held a Veblen Research Instructorship,[4] a joint position between Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study. Until 2007 he was an assistant professor at Princeton University. Until 2014, he was a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles.[2] In July 2013 Sudakov joined ETH Zurich as a professor.[5]
Sudakov has broad interests within the field of combinatorics, having written papers on extremal combinatorics, Ramsey theory, random graphs, and positional games.[2]
In 2012 he became a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[6]
He gave an invited talk at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 2010 at Hyderabad, on the topic of "Combinatorics".[7]
