Awards and honours

edit

With his co-authors Erik Demaine, Mohammad Hajiaghayi, and Dimitrios Thilikos, he received the 2015 European Association for Theoretical Computer Science Nerode Prize for his work on bidimensionality.[2] Together with Fabrizio Grandoni and Dieter Kratsch, he received the 2017 Nerode Prize for his work on Measure & Conquer. Fomin won the Nerode Prize a third time in 2024 for the paper "(Meta)Kernelization," coauthored with Hans L. Bodlaender, Daniel Lokshtanov, Eelko Penninkx, Saket Saurabh, and Dimitrios M. Thilikos.[3]

In 2019, Fomin was named an EATCS Fellow for "his fundamental contributions in the fields of parametrized complexity and exponential algorithms".[4] Fomin is an elected member of the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters, the Norwegian Academy of Technological Sciences, and the Academia Europaea. In 2023, he was named an ACM Fellow.[5]
