About Me

I’m a PhD student in Computer Science at Tel Aviv University, advised by Inbal Talgam-Cohen and Rotem Oshman. My research focuses on algorithmic game theory and distributed algorithms, with an emphasis on dynamic decision-making. I'm especially interested in how incentives and computation interact in evolving environments.

I hold an MSc in Computer Science from Tel Aviv University, and a BSc from the Technion, where I graduated with excellence. Before academia, I worked for 5 years at Google on large-scale algorithmic and engineering challenges.

I have volunteered with initiatives such as Mind the Gap, supporting underrepresented groups in STEM. While at Google, I also organized outreach events specifically aimed at encouraging these groups to pursue careers in tech.
