• Interconnections between electrical engineering and theoretical computer science (particularly coding and information theory and signal processing),

• Sparse recovery (e.g., compressive sensing and combinatorial group testing) and high-dimensional geometry,

• Information-theoretic privacy and security,

• The use of randomness in computation, and how to do things equally well without using randomness,

• Approximation algorithms and hardness of approximation.
