I completed my doctoral studies at the Computer Science Department at Columbia University. My advisors were Prof. Dan Rubenstein and Prof. Vishal Misra. I received my B.Sc. in Statistics, Operations Research and Computer Science, and M.Sc. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Tel-Aviv University, Israel, where I was affiliated with the Networking Lab, under the supervision of Prof. Yuval Shavitt.

I am currently affiliated with Vidyo. My current homapage is here.

RESEARCH

My research interests are in design, analysis, and implementation of networked systems, broadly defined. My research spans various areas, including:

Algorithms and systems for large-scale multimedia services and content distribution networks.
Improving performance, functionality, and robustness of distributed systems and cloud computing services.
Performance evaluation and modeling of computer and networked systems.
