Besides this, Schnorr is known for his contributions to algorithmic information theory and for creating an approach to the definition of an algorithmically random sequence which is alternative to the concept of Martin-Löf randomness.
Schnorr is currently professor of mathematics and computer science at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe university at Frankfurt.
