I graduated from the PhD program in 2012. I now work at Google. I've spent five years as a PhD student at the Department of Computer Science, Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University. My research interests are in the area of distributed systems. My advisor was Jinyang Li. Prior to coming to NYU, I earned a B.Sc in Computer Science and Mathematics from Tel-Aviv University and a B.A. in Musicology (from Tel-Aviv University as well.)
