Omer Paneth

I am a faculty member at Tel Aviv University's Blavatnik School of Computer Science.

I have a broad interest in the theory of computation, with cryptography being my main research area.

Previously I was a postdoctoral associate at MIT CSAIL hosted by Shafi Goldwasser and Vinod Vaikuntanathan and at Northeastern University hosted by Daniel Wichs.

I completed my Ph.D. at Boston University where I was advised by Ran Canetti.
