In October 2023 I will be starting as a (tenure-track) Assistant Professor at KTH Royal Institute of Technology.

Currently a Postdoc at IT University of Copenhagen, hosted by Prof. Thore Husfeldt.
Guest researcher at the University of Copenhagen and part of Basic Algorithms Research Copenhagen (BARC).

Previously, I was a Postdoc at Tel Aviv University, hosted by Prof. Guy Even.
I obtained my PhD in Computer Science from the University of Maryland.
I had the privilege of being advised by Prof. Samir Khuller.
I obtained my Master's degree from UMD under the supervision of Prof. Aravind Srinivasan.
I graduated from the University of Chicago, with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics (Honors) and Computer Science.

Curriculum Vitae

Research Interests

I am interested in the broad area of Theoretical Computer Science and specifically in
  • Data Structures (e.g. dictionaries and Bloom filters)
  • Approximation Algorithms (e.g. clustering)
  • Computational Geometry (e.g. Traveling Salesman Problem)
