Yael Hitron
I am a Ph.D. student at the Weizmann Institute,
Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science,
where I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Merav Parter.
I am interested in theoretical computer science, especially in distributed computing.
My main focus is in studying biological neural networks from an algorithmic prespective.
Additionally, I am interested in byzantine distributed computation.
