I am from Jerusalem where I did my PhD in Math at the Hebrew University, advised by Prof. Yuval Peres.

Before starting my position, I was a post-doc at the Theory Group of Microsoft Research , Seattle and a Miller fellow in Statistics and Computer Science at U.C. Berkeley.

Research Interests: Combinatorial Statistics, Discrete Fourier analysis and Influences, Randomized Algorithms, Computational Complexity, MCMC, Markov Random Fields, Social Choice, Game Theory, Evolution.

Academic year 08-09: I am on leave from U.C. Berkeley during academic year 08-09.
