About Me

I'm a fourth-year Ph.D. student at the Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago.

Advisor: Prof. Julia Chuzhoy

Research Area: Approximation Algorithms

I got my Bachelor's degree at the Open University of Israel, and my Master's degree at the Weizmann Institute of Science, where I was advised by Prof. Robert Krauthgamer.
