Who am I?

I am a Ph.D.student at the Computer Science Department at the Technion. I am also pursuing an MBA degree at the Technion's Faculty of Industrial Engineering and Management. My prior degrees are an M.Sc. from the Technion's CS department and a B.Sc. from the EECS department at the University of California, Berkeley.

Research

My research interests lie in the field of Group Communication for Mobile Ad-hoc Networks. More information can be obtained on the homepage of the JazzEnsemble project.

My previous research was conducted in the field of fault-tolerance for the Java Virtual Machine. That project is detailed here.
