I am very fortunate to be a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Computer Science at Northeastern University, I am working with Daniel Wichs, and I am funded by the Khoury College Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowship.
Prior to this, I spent five months as a postdoctoral researcher at Tel Aviv University hosted by Benny Applebaum.
My main research interests are Cryptography, Complexity Theory and Derandomization.
I received my PhD at the School of Computer Science at Tel Aviv University. I am fortunate to have had Iftach Haitner and Ronen Shaltiel as my two advisors.
I received my B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Computer Science from the University of Haifa under the supervision of Ronen Shaltiel.
