I am a Ph.D. student at Tel Aviv University. My research area is discrete and computational geometry. My advisor is Micha Sharir. Visit my academic page at TAU to learn about my research.

I got my M.Sc. from the Weizmann Institute of Science in 2004, in the area of combinatorial games, under the supervision of Aviezri Fraenkel. My M.Sc. thesis is available here.

I got my B.A. from Yeshiva University in 2000.
