Brief Biography and Research Interest
I am a faculty member at the department of Computer Science (senior lecturer, aka, assistant professor), and a member of the Bar-Ilan Center for Research in Applied Cryptography and Cyber Security. My research interest is in the field of cryptography with a focus on secure multiparty computation.
Short Bio:
In 2019, I was a Research Lead (Vice-President) at the AI Research group at J.P. Morgan (NY). In 2017-2018, I was a Simons Foundation Junior fellow at Cornell Tech (NY), hosted by Rafael Pass. In 2016, I was a post-doctoral researcher at the Cryptography Group, IBM TJ Watson Research Center (NY), and in 2015, I was an I-CORE postdoc fellow in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, hosted by Gil Segev.
I finished my PhD in 2015, in Bar-Ilan university, where I was fortunate to have Yehuda Lindell as my advisor.
You can read about my research and the problems I deal with in the following interview.
My research is currently supported by the European Union's Horizon 2020 Framework Program (h2020) via Marie Sklodowska-Curie individual-fellowship (MSCA-IF) and by the Israel Science Foundation (ISF).
