Hello, World!
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Mathematics Department of the University of Haifa, hosted by Uriya A. First. Prior to this, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Einstein Institute of Mathematics in Hebrew University of Jerusalem, hosted by Gil Kalai, Alex Lubotzky, and Ori Parzanchevski. Even prior to that, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Algorithms and Randomness Centre in Georgia Institute of Technology, hosted by Prasad Tetali. I obtained my PhD from the University of Waterloo, where I was advised by Lap Chi Lau.
I am broadly interested in the theory of computation with a particular focus on spectral graph theory, random walks, and randomness in computation.
