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.

I was a postdoctoral research fellowship at the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing at UC Berkeley for the crypto program “Cryptography 10 Years Later: Obfuscation, Proof Systems, and Secure Computation.”.

I also 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.
