Noa Vaknin is a Ph.D. candidate supervised by Prof. Oded Schwartz, in the Computer Science Department at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where she received her master's and bachelor's degrees (with honors). Her research focuses on accelerating matrix multiplication based on Strassen's 1969 algorithm combining both theoretical and implementational aspects, including communication and computation reductions.
Her work has been published, and she has presented at several international conferences. Vaknin's research is funded by the Clore Foundation and by the Council for Higher Education (Vatat), and has been granted multiple awards.
