Bio

I'm a fifth year PhD candidate at the Johns Hopkins University, under the supervision of my advisors Avi Rubin and Matt Green. This year, I am also a visiting fellow at the Hariri Institute for Computation at Boston University. I completed my undergraduate degree in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, also from Johns Hopkins. My primary areas of interest are applied cryptography, privacy, and network security, but will probably find anything involving practical cryptography interesting.

I am also an observant Jew and play Ultimate.

Check out the Advanced Research in Cryptography group's website.

A copy of my CV is available here.

A copy of my dissertation is available here.

If you came to this website expecting stuff about the placebo effect or alternative medicine, you may be looking for my father's website (yes, I know it doesnt have TLS turned on -- I'm working on it).

News

I've accepted a position as a Research Scientist at Boston University's Hariri Institute for Computing! I'll be starting there in fall 2020!

ACRAB

Our group recently set up a website to help keep track of all the exciting new publications in applied crypto researching. While EPrint is great and all, its hard to read 1500 publications a year, especially when very few of them are applied. We call it Applied Cryptography Research: A Board aka ACRAB. Check it out! Make an account and help out!
