About

I'm a pure mathematician by training and worked many years in Homotopy Theory and Higher Category Theory.

I completed my PhD at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, under the supervision of Emmanuel Dror-Farjoun in 2012.  

I had postdoc positions in the Netherlands and Germany, and five years ago I left academia and transitioned to tech. Since then I worked as a data scientist, algorithm developer and AI researcher. 

I'm currently based in Berlin and work for the Ethereum Foundation. I was part of PSE for about a year, where I ran a course on Elliptic curves and did some research on Homomorphic Encryption. I'm now part of Stateless Consensus where I run a seminar on STARK.
