Amin Shokrollahi (born ) 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 (together with Michael Luby, Michael Mitzenmacher, and Daniel Spielman, as well as Tom Richardson and Ruediger Urbanke).[1] He is one of the inventors of a modern class of practical erasure codes known as tornado codes,[2] and the principal developer of raptor codes,[3] which belong to a class of rateless erasure codes known as Fountain codes.

Sumner Award in 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 together with Michael Luby "for the conception, development, and analysis of practical rateless codes".[5] He also received the joint Communication Society and Information Theory Society best paper award [6] as well as the Mustafa Prize[7] for his work on raptor codes.
He is the principal inventor of Chordal Codes, a new class of codes specifically designed for communication on electrical wires between chips. In 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)
