Personal profile
About Me
I am a faculty member at the Computer Science Department at Bar Ilan University. Prior to joining Bar Ilan, I was a postdoc at the Computer Science Department at Columbia University, hosted by Alex Andoni. The postdoc was part of the the Simons Collaboration on Algorithms and Geometry.
I did my PhD at the Computer Science Department at Ben Gurion University of the Negev. I was fortunate to be advised by Ofer Neiman and Robert Krauthgamer.
My research interest is theoretical computer science. More specifically: Metric Spaces, Low-Distortion Embeddings, Randomized Algorithms and Approximation.
I am recruiting excellent graduate students, and PostDocs to our research group. If you are interested, don't hesitate to shoot me an email!
Check out our Bar-Ilan Theory seminar !
Check out our FOCS 2022 workshop “ Advances on Metric Embeddings ” I co-organize with Hung Le.
