Until recently, I was a Clinical Assistant Professor at the Department of Mathematics of Boise State University. I happily served as the Department of Mathematics Faculty Liasion for the Concurrent Enrollment Program. I also ran the Problem Of The Month Series - check it out!
Before coming to Boise State I was a Postdoctoral Research Associate (and a Lecturer) at the Department of Mathematics of Princeton University, hosted by Prof. Charles Fefferman.
My PhD was completed at the Mathematics Department of the Weizmann Institute of Science under the supervision of Prof. Dmitry Gourevitch. In my master's degree (thesis can be found here) I worked under the supervision of Prof. Maria Gorelik, in the same department.
Prior to that I received a bachelor's degree in Mathematics and Physics from Tel-Aviv University.
Research interests
These days I am mainly interested in (Whitney's) extension problems, a field that lies in the realm of functional analysis. I am also interested in real (algebraic / semi-algebraic / sub-analytic / differential / definable) geometry (and some quasiconformal geometry), and in particular in Schwartz spaces that may (or may not) be defined in these categories. Previously I studied generalizations of root systems, and their relation to Kac-Moody super-algebras.
