About

I am currently the head of research at ChainCode Labs. Previously, I was at the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing at Berkley and at CalTech.
I graduated Tel Aviv university with a PhD in mathematics. My advisor was Prof. Noga Alon, the thesis was titled 'Generalized Turán Type Problems and other Questions'.
I completed my master's degree at the Weizmann Institute. My advisor was Prof. Ehud Friedgut, the thesis was titled Thresholds of monotone properties with small minterms.
