Tornado Codes, IEEE Eric E. Sumner Award (2007) Communication Society and Information Theory Society Best Paper Award (2007) IEEE Hamming Medal (2012) ISSCC Jan van Vessem Award (2014) Amin Shokrollahi (born 1964) is a German-Iranian mathematician who has worked on a variety of topics including coding theory and algebraic complexity theory.

He is best known for his work on iterative decoding of graph based codes for which he received the IEEE Information Theory Paper Award of 2002 (together with Michael Luby, Michael Mitzenmacher, and Daniel Spielman, as well as Tom Richardson and Ruediger Urbanke).

In connection with the work on these codes, he received the IEEE Eric E. Sumner Award in 2007 together with Michael Luby "for bridging mathematics, Internet design and mobile broadcasting as well as successful standardization"[4] and the IEEE Richard W. Hamming Medal in 2012 together with Michael Luby "for the conception, development, and analysis of practical rateless codes".

In 2011 he founded the company Kandou Bus dedicated to commercialization of the concept of Chordal Codes.

The first implementation, transmitting data on 8 correlated wires and implemented in a 40 nm process, received the Jan Van Vessem Award for best European Paper at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) 2014.
