Swee Hong and I arranged the SocalDM 2021 symposium in April 2021. Here is the outcome.
Research Areas
My research areas mostly lie under the umbrella of “Discrete Mathematics” (everything that one can count!). I love working on problems in extremal (hyper)graph theory, random graphs, random matrices, combinatorial number theory, combinatorics and more. Recently I’ve been quite obsessed with learning more about the fascinating area of quantum computation and information, and I really hope that soon I’ll be able to add it to my research expertise as well!
Education
I received my PhD from Tel Aviv University in 2013 and then spent 1.5 years in ETH Zurich, 1.5 years at Yale as a Gibbs Assistant Professor, and 3 years as an instructor at MIT.
Some key achievements/awards
Two of my (relatively) recent papers were featured in quanta magazine:
I currently hold the following grants:
Air Force Grant
NSF- Career
Sloan’s fellowship
NSF-BSF
Seleceted Talks
When combinatorics meets Littlewood-Offord theory talk from SoCal20 about one of my research projects.
Robustness of properties of graphs talk from the grad students seminar in UCI about one of my projects.
