Using Expanders for Fast Graph Algorithms

In the last few years, expanders have been used in fast graph algorithms in different models, including static, dynamic, and distributed algorithms. I will survey these applications of expanders, explain the expander-related tools behind this development, then give a tutorial on how to construct some of these tools, such as expander decomposition.
