I am currently a post-doctoral fellow at the faculty of Mathematics and
Computer Science at the Weizmann Institute. I have recently
returned from a 3-year postdoctoral fellowship at the University of
Toronto. Before that I obtained my Ph.D.
in Mathematics at The Weizmann Institute under the supervision of
Prof. Itai
Benjamini.
From October 2010 I am going to be part of the department of
Mathematics at Bar-Ilan University.
My research field is probability theory, with an emphasis on problems
in discrete probability with a geometric flavor.
My research interests include, (but are not
limited to) : self interacting random walks, interacting particle
systems and exclusion processes, stochastic growth models,
probability on groups, percolation and random graphs .
