Liat Peterfreund

I am a Senior Lecturer (Assistant Professor) at the School of Computer Science & Engineering at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. My research focuses on the foundations of data management, with particular interest in graph query languages, their formal semantics, and new approaches to handling incomplete information. I am especially interested in studying real-life data problems through the lens of precise and elegant mathematical models.

In addition to my academic role, I work as a part-time consultant at RelationalAI, where I apply foundational research to real-world systems.

Before joining HUJI, I was a CNRS researcher (chargée de recherche) at LIGM, Université Paris-Est, following postdoctoral positions at the University of Edinburgh, IRIF (Université Paris Cité), and École Normale Supérieure Paris. I completed my Ph.D. at the Computer Science Department, Technion.
