About
I'm a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford, hosted by Omer Reingold.
Before that, I was a Research Assistant Professor at Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago (TTIC). I completed my PhD in Computer Science at Tel Aviv University, where I was very fortunate to be advised by Yishay Mansour.
I am broadly interested in learning theory, with a particular interest in problems that relate to societal challenges.
I'm on the 2024-2025 academic job market.
Here's my CV.
