About Me

Hi there! I am a PhD Student at the Blavatnik School of Computer Science, Tel Aviv Univesity, under the supervision of Prof. Hanoch Levy. My fields of interest revolve around networking and security. Specifically, my research focuses on analysing the operation of stochastic systems and networks performance in the presence of malicious behavior.
