I am a professor of economics
and mathematics at Caltech. I am interested in probability,
dynamics and group theory, and in their applications
to topics in microeconomic theory,
including information, risk
and uncertainty, and social choice. I am a member of the
Caltech CSIS
interdisciplinary research group, and the chair of Caltech's undergrad admissions committee.
I got my B.Sc. in computer science and physics
from Tel Aviv University, where I participated in the
search for extrasolar planets with Tsevi
Mazeh.
In 2013 I received my Ph.D. in mathematics from the Weizmann
Institute, advised
by Elchanan
Mossel. From 2013 until 2015 I was a Schramm postdoctoral
fellow at the MIT math department / Microsoft
Research, where I previously was an intern of
Adam Kalai. I have been at Caltech since 2015.
