I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Computer Science Department at Columbia University. My advisors are Prof. Dan Rubenstein and Prof. Vishal Misra.

I received my B.Sc. in Statistics, Operations Research and Computer Science, and M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from Tel-Aviv University, Israel. I was affiliated with the Networking Lab, under the supervision of Prof. Yuval Shavitt.

RESEARCH

My research interests are in the architecture and performance evaluation of computer systems and services, broadly defined. My research spans various areas, including:

Algorithms and systems for content distribution and media streaming.
Performance evaluation and modeling of networked systems.
Improving performance and robustness in distributed systems and cloud computing.
