Not that surprising for someone whose specialty in computer science is theoretical computer science (i.e. the mathematical foundations of computer science).



UC San Diego:

Kane has diverse research interests in mathematics and theoretical computer science, though most of his work fits into the broad categories of number theory, complexity theory or combinatorics. “My mathematics work has tended to focus on analytic number theory,” said Kane. “My computer science work has typically involved k-independence, polynomial threshold functions or derandomization.” In 2013, he received the Best Paper award at the Conference on Computational Complexity, and a decade earlier Kane – as a member of the USA team – won a gold medal at the International Mathematical Olympiad in 2002 and again in 2003.
