Boaz Tsaban is an Israeli mathematician at the faculty of Bar-Ilan University working as a capacity of Professor. His research interests include selection principles within Set Theory and Nonabelian Cryptology, within Mathematical Cryptology. At the age of 16 he was selected with other high school students to attend the first cycle of a special preparation program in mathematics, at Bar-Ilan University, being admitted to regular mathematics courses at the University a year later. He has completed his B.Sc., M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees with highest distinctions. Two years as a post-doctoral fellow at Hebrew University were followed by a three-year Koshland Fellowship at the Weizmann Institute of Science before he joined the Department of Mathematics, Bar-Ilan University in 2007. Tsaban’s doctoral dissertation, supervised by Hillel Furstenberg, won, with Irit Dinur, the Nessyahu prize for the best Ph.D. in mathematics in Israel in 2003. In 2009 he won the Wolf Foundation Krill Prize for Excellence in Scientific Research.
