I am a research scientist at Apple, and a faculty member (on leave) in the Department of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics at the Weizmann Institute of Science.

I have a wide interest in theoretical computer science. My research aims to promote a foundational understanding of societal concerns in computation, such as fairness, privacy and security.

Brief Biography. Before joining Apple and Weizmann, I was a researcher at Samsung Research America (2015-2016) and at Microsoft Research’s Silicon Valley Lab (2011-2014). I have also been a visiting researcher at the Computer Science Department at Stanford University (2014-2015) and a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Computer Science Department at Princeton University (2009-2011).

Education. I completed my Ph.D. at MIT, where my advisor was Shafi Goldwasser, and my M.Sc. at The Weizmann Institute of Science, where my advisor was Moni Naor.
