Information

As of October 2010 I am at Yahoo! Research.
In Yahoo! I've been working on a variety of distributed systems problems such as dynamic reconfiguration for Apache Zookeeper, publish subscribe, mobile middleware, and more.

I received my PhD from the Department of Electrical Engineering, Technion, under the supervision of Prof. Idit Keidar.
My research is broadly in the area of fault-tolerant distributed algorithms and systems.

My previous degrees are from the Computer Science Department, Technion, where I completed

M.Sc. in Computer Science (2006, cum laude) and B.Sc. in Software Engineering (2004, summa cum laude).

Teaching

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 also supervised several projects in the Software Systems Lab in the Electrical Engineering department
