I moved to Microsoft Research (Silicon Valley) on October 2006.
This webpage is no longer maintained.
My new homepage is here





I am a PhD candidate in The School of Engineering Computer Science in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem under the supervision of Prof. Noam Nisan. I have B.Sc. in Computer Science and Economics from the Hebrew University.


My research interests center in the border of Theory of Computer Science, Game Theory and Microeconomic Theory. In particular, I am interested in the design of electronic marketplaces, and in the combined research of computational aspects (like communication complexity and approximation algorithms) and game-theoretic concepts.
