Education
Micali graduated in mathematics at La Sapienza University of Rome in 1978 and earned a Ph.D. degree in computer science from the University of California, Berkeley in 1982;[16] his PhD thesis adviser was Manuel Blum.[1]
Research
Micali is best known for some of his fundamental early work on public-key cryptosystems, pseudorandom functions, digital signatures, oblivious transfer, secure multiparty computation, and is one of the co-inventors of zero-knowledge proofs.[17]
Awards
Micali won the Gödel Prize in 1993.[18] In 2007, he was selected to be a member of the National Academy of Sciences and a Fellow of the IACR. He is also a member of the National Academy of Engineering and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.[19] He received the Turing Award[3] for the year 2012 along with Shafi Goldwasser for their work in the field of cryptography.[20]
