László Lovász is a Hungarian mathematician, born in Budapest in 1948, and professor emeritus at Eötvös Loránd University, best known for his work in combinatorics, for which he was awarded the 2021 Abel Prize jointly with Avi Wigderson. He was president of the International Mathematical Union from 2007 to 2010 and of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences from 2014 to 2020. In graph theory his contributions include the proofs of Kneser's conjecture and the Lovász local lemma, and he is one of the authors of the LLL lattice reduction algorithm.
