On october 2015, under the advise the Professor Tal Malkin, I defended my PhD thesis "Secure Computation Towards Practical Applications", where I focused on sublinear secure two-party computation and private search mechanisms. My main areas of interest are theoretical and applied cryptography. Currently, I'm VP Engineering at Espresso Systems
