About me

I am a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University's Computer Science Department, hosted by Prof. Dan Boneh. My main area of research is cryptography, its applications, and its relations with other foundational aspects of computation.
I am a Protocol Labs Postdoctoral Fellow and a Rothschild Postdoctoral Fellow.

Before joining Stanford, I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science at the Hebrew University's School of Computer Science and Engineering, where I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Gil Segev.
During my Ph.D. I was an Adams Fellow of the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities.
