Short Biography
 
I am currently lecturer at Communication Systems Engineering Ben Gurion University,
 Beer Sheva, ISRAEL
  • [2004-2006] I was a post doc at the CWI in Amsterdam, under the supervision of Prof. Prof. Paul Vitanyi.
  • [2003-2004] I was a post doc at the MPI for 3 moth Saarbrücken Germany.
  •  [2003-2004] I was a post doc at the Mascotte Joint project-team with I3S (CNRS and UNSA) Nice FRANCE.
  • [2001-2003] I was teacher assistant at Tel Aviv University ISRAEL.
  • [1999-2001] I work in Intel Haifa .
I finished my PhD in Algorithms in Networks at the dept. of EE-systems of Tel-Aviv University under the supervision of Prof. Boaz Patt Shamir.
I hold an MSc in Mathematics from Tel Aviv University, a BScs in Mathematics and Computer Science, and a BSc in Industrial engineering, from Ben Gurion University.
