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. In 2019 Fomin was named an EATCS Fellow for "his fundamental contributions in the fields of parametrized complexity and exponential algorithms".[3] Fomin is 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.[4]
