I'm a 4th year Ph.D. student (will be on the job market by summer 2010).
My advisor is Prof. Idit Keidar and our research is broadly in the area of fault-tolerant distributed algorithms and systems.
Recent interests:
Large-scale and dynamic distributed systems
- DynaStore: Dynamic Atomic Storage Without Consensus (PODC'09), with Microsoft Research Silicon Valley ppt
- Brahms: Byzantine Resilient Random Membership Sampling (PODC'08; COMENT 2009) ppt
- Local Building Blocks for a Scalable Pub/Sub Infrastructure (Locality 2007), with IBM Research Haifa
Untrusted storage (with IBM Research Zurich)
- FAUST: Fail-Aware Untrusted Storage (DSN'09) ppt
- Trusting the Cloud (SIGACT News 2009)
Fault-tolerant replication and agreement in partially synchronous systems
- How to choose a timing model? (DSN'07; IEEE TPDS 2008)
- GIRAF: a framework for evaluating the performance of distributed algorithms (PODC'06)
My previous degrees are from the Technion Computer Science Department, where I completed
M.Sc. in Computer Science (2006, cum laude) and B.Sc. in Software Engineering (2004, summa cum laude)
During Spring semesters (2007 till 2009) I was the TA in charge in the Principles of Reliable Distributed Systems course
In Winter semesters (2007 and 2008) I was the TA in charge in the Design and Analysis of Algorithms course
Before that I
taught Introduction to C
language
I supervise some projects in the Software Systems Lab in the Electrical Engineering department
