Ronen Eldan was born in 1980 in Tel Aviv.

He earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics at the Open University. He completed his doctorate at Tel Aviv University under Boaz Klartag and Vitali Milman. He then did postdoctoral work at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Microsoft Research Redmond and the University of Washington.

In 2015 he joined the mathematics department of the Weizmann Institute of Science, where he became a professor. His research centers on high-dimensional probability, and he developed a method linking the study of high-dimensional systems with stochastic analysis. His applied work dealt with the limits of neural networks and a new decision-making algorithm in artificial intelligence.

He received several prizes for his work and spoke at the 2022 International Congress of Mathematicians. He later moved to work at OpenAI.
