With Lovász, he gave a randomized algorithm using O(n7 log2 n) separation calls to approximate the volume of a convex body within a fixed relative error.

He was elected as a corresponding member at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 2001 and full membership was awarded in 2008.

With Laszlo Lovász, he gave a randomized algorithm using O(n7 log2 n) separation calls to approximate the volume of a convex body within a fixed relative error.
